Suman bought a personal computer from a shopkeeper. If he sold it for 22,116 to Manish and made a profit of 14%, then what was the price at which Suman bought the personal computer?

Finding the Cost Price of the Computer Step 1: Define Variables Let the cost price of the computer be \( C \). Suman made a profit of 14% , so the selling price is given by: \[ \text{Selling Price} = C + 0.14C = 1.14C \] Step 2: Use the Given Selling Price The selling price is given as Rs. 22,116, so: \[ 1.14C = 22,116 \] Step 3: Solve for \( C \) Dividing both sides by 1.14: \[ C = \frac{22,116}{1.14} \] \[ C = 19,400 \] Final Answer: Thus, the price at which Suman bought the computer is Rs. 19,400. The correct answer is (A) 19,400.
