Let CP be x   Gain% = 25%   Then SP = x*125/100   SP = 5x/4   If it had been bought at 10% discount   Then CP = x*90/100   CP = 9x/10   sold at 20% more that the earliest cost... [earliest cost means x]   Then SP = x*120/100 = 600+9x/10   6x/5 = 6000+9x/10   12x = 6000+9x   3x = 6000   x = 2000   ANSWER:2000
