    B 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 17% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Marked price = 1.35 × 1,800 = Rs. 2,430

    Selling price = 2,430 - 360 = Rs. 2,070

    Profit = 2,070 - 1,800 = Rs. 270

    Profit % = (270 ÷ 1,800) × 100 = 15%
