Solution
A earns less profit than B.
Explanation:
Cost price of tape recorder for A = Rs. 8000
Cost price of tape recorder for B = 20% profit on cost price for A
= `20/100 xx 8000 + 8000`
= 20 × 80 + 8000
= 1600 + 8000
= Rs. 9600
Cost price of tape recorder for C = 20% profit on cost price for B
= `20/100 xx 9600 + 9600`
= 1929 + 9600
= Rs. 11520
Here, Profit for A = Rs. 1600
Profit for B = Rs. 1920
So, A earns less profit than B.
Hence, A earns less profit than B.
