    C Rs.6000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.4000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the marked price be Rs. 100x. Selling price after 10% discount = 90x Cost price C=90xβˆ’1200 From the condition: 1.15Γ—C=90xβˆ’300 Substituting C=90xβˆ’1200, 1.15Γ—(90xβˆ’1200)=90xβˆ’300 103.5xβˆ’1380=90xβˆ’300 13.5x=1080 x=80 So, the cost price C=90Γ—80βˆ’1200=Rs.6000
