Correct Answer: INR 200
Solution : When profit = 15% of cost price, Selling price = Cost price + Profit = Cost price + 15% of cost price = 115% of cost price New selling price = 115% of cost price + INR 6, Profit = 18% of cost price So, 115% of cost price + INR 6 = 118% of cost price ⇒ INR 6 = (118%–115%) of Cost price ⇒ Cost price = $\frac{6×100}{3}$ = INR 200 Hence, the correct answer is INR 200.
