$A$ sold an article to $B$ at a profit of $20 %$ . $B$ sold the same article to $C$ at a loss of $25 %$ and $C$ sold the same article to $D$ at a profit of $40 %$ . If $D$ paid Rs $252$ for the article, then find how much did $A$ pay for it?

Let the article costs $^{'} X^{'}$ to $A$
Cost price of $B = 1.2 X$
Cost price of $C = 0.75 (1.2 X) = 0.9 X$
Cost price of $D = 1.4 (0.9 X) = 1.26 X = 252$
Amount paid by $A$ for the article $=$ Rs. $200$
