Answer:
First Method
Let Cost Price for A was 100
Then CP for B = 100 + 25% of 100 = 125
CP for C = 125 + 20% of 125 = 150
CP for D = 150 + 10% of 150 = 165
But, D pay Rs. 330, Then it must be equal to
165 = 330
1 = 330165
100 = 330×100165=200
Thus, CP for A = Rs. 200
Short-cut
A's CP = 330×100125×100120×100110
= Rs.200
