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.
