Correct Answer: INR 6000


Solution : Let the cost price of the bag be INR $x$.
The bag was sold at a profit of 12%.
So, the selling price of the bag $=\frac{112x}{100}$
If the bag had been sold for INR 900 more, the profit would have been 27%.
The selling price would have been INR $\frac{127x}{100}$.
According to the question,
$\frac{112x}{100} + 900 = \frac{127x}{100}$
$⇒\frac{15x}{100}=900$
$⇒x=6000$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 6000.
