Final answer:

Kishan's total cost for the motorcycle is Rs 26000 after repairs. A 6% loss on this amount is Rs 1560. Therefore, Dorje paid Rs 24440 for the motorcycle, which is not listed in the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The content loaded question asks us to calculate the selling price of a second-hand motorcycle that Kishan bought for Rs 25400 and spent Rs 600 on repairs before selling it at a 6% loss. To find the total cost incurred by Kishan, we add the purchase price and the repair costs:

Total cost = Purchase price + Repair costs

Total cost = Rs 25400 + Rs 600

Total cost = Rs 26000

Next, we need to calculate the amount that corresponds to a 6% loss:

Loss amount = Total cost × Loss percentage

Loss amount = Rs 26000 × 6%

Loss amount = Rs 26000 × 0.06

Loss amount = Rs 1560

To find the selling price at which Kishan sold the motorcycle to Dorje at a 6% loss, we subtract the loss amount from the total cost:

Selling price = Total cost - Loss amount

Selling price = Rs 26000 - Rs 1560

Selling price = Rs 24440

Therefore, the amount Dorje paid for the motorcycle is Rs 24440, which isn't an option provided in the question. There seems to be an error in the options provided.
