Correct Answer: INR 10,800


Solution : Selling price = INR 18,600
Profit = 55% of cost price
Cost price = Selling price – profit
Cost price = 18600 – 55% of cost price
155% of cost price = 18,600
Cost price = $\frac{18600}{1.55}$ = INR 12,000
Loss = 10% of cost price = 10% × 12000 = 1,200
Selling price = cost price – loss
= 12000 – 1200
= INR 10,800
Hence, the correct answer is INR 10,800.
