Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: Let's denote the cost price as CP, the selling price as SP, the marked price as MP, and the profit percentage and discount percentage as x.

Step 2: According to the problem, we know that MP = CP + Rs. 2400 and SP = CP + Rs. 900.

Step 3: We also know that SP = MP - MP*(x/100), because the selling price is the marked price minus the discount, which is x% of the marked price.

Step 4: Substitute MP = CP + Rs. 2400 into the equation from step 3, we get SP = CP + Rs. 2400 - (CP + Rs. 2400)*(x/100).

Step 5: Simplify the equation from step 4, we get SP = CP + Rs. 2400 - CPx/100 - Rs. 2400x/100.

Step 6: Since SP = CP + Rs. 900, we can substitute SP into the equation from step 5, we get CP + Rs. 900 = CP + Rs. 2400 - CPx/100 - Rs. 2400x/100.

Step 7: Simplify the equation from step 6, we get Rs. 900 = Rs. 2400 - CPx/100 - Rs. 2400x/100.

Step 8: Solve the equation from step 7 for x, we get x = (Rs. 2400 - Rs. 900) / (CP + Rs. 2400/100) = 1500 / (CP + 24).

Step 9: Since the problem asks for the value of 4x, we multiply the result from step 8 by 4, we get 4x = 6000 / (CP + 24).

Without the value of the cost price (CP), we cannot find the exact numerical value of 4x. However, we have expressed 4x in terms of CP, which is a solution to the problem.
