Answer / samar khan

initially Rita got 25% of 3000 means 3000*25/100 = 750 as profit
and now she has sold to Sita for Rs 3750
after that Sita sold her back at 10% loss
means 3750*10/100 = 375
that is Rita paid Rs 3375 to Sita took back the dress
now Rita has the dress and Rs 3750 - Rs 3375 = Rs 375
so Rita has net profit of Rs 375 it means 12.5% gained by Rita
