Question

Accepted Answer

We are tasked with finding the profit made by Shyam when he buys a product from Bina and sells it to Hari.

#### Step 1: Determine the cost price of the product
Bina incurs a 19% loss when selling the product to Shyam for Rs. 4860. Using the formula for selling price:
$$
	ext{Selling Price} = 	ext{Cost Price} 	imes (1 - 	ext{Loss Percentage}/100)
$$
Substitute:
$$
4860 = P 	imes (1 - 19/100)
$$
Simplify:
$$
P = 4860 / 0.81 = 6000 \, 	ext{Rs.}
$$

Thus, the cost price of the product for Bina is Rs. 6000.

#### Step 2: Calculate the selling price if Bina sold at a profit
If Bina had sold the product to Shyam at a 17% profit, the selling price would be:
$$
	ext{Selling Price} = 	ext{Cost Price} 	imes (1 + 	ext{Profit Percentage}/100)
$$
Substitute:
$$
	ext{Selling Price} = 6000 	imes (1 + 17/100) = 6000 	imes 1.17 = 7020 \, 	ext{Rs.}
$$

Thus, the selling price of the product to Hari is Rs. 7020.

#### Step 3: Calculate Shyam's profit
Shyam buys the product from Bina for Rs. 4860 and sells it to Hari for Rs. 7020. His profit is:
$$
	ext{Profit} = 	ext{Selling Price} - 	ext{Purchase Price}
$$
Substitute:
$$
	ext{Profit} = 7020 - 4860 = 2160 \, 	ext{Rs.}
$$

### Final Answer:
**2160 Rs.**
