    B Rs.2,750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.5,765 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.4,038 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the cost price of each item be Rs. x. 1.45 × 0.8 × x = 1980 Total cost price: 1707 × 6 = Rs.10,242 Total selling price: 1980 × 6 = Rs.11,880 Total CP + delivery charges = Total SP + Loss 10,242 + delivery charges = 11,880 + 2,400 Delivery charges = 14,280 − 10,242 = Rs.4,038
