Correct Answer: 11,000


Solution : Let the Marked Price (MP) of the machine be INR $x$.
Given: Cost Price (CP) = INR 9,000
Discount = 10% of $x$ = $\frac{x}{10}$
Selling Price (SP) = MP − Discount
$=x-\frac{x}{10} = \frac{9x}{10}$
Gain = SP − CP
⇒ $\text{10% of CP} = \frac{9x}{10} - 9000$
⇒ $900 + 9000 = \frac{9x}{10}$
⇒ $9x = 99000$
⇒ $x = 11000$
Hence, the correct answer is 11,000.
