Correct Answer: Rs. 930
Solution : The selling price = 0.75 × 1488 The trader earns a profit of 20%, which means the selling price is 120% of the cost price. Let the cost price be C. Selling Price = 1.20 × C Setting these two equations equal to each other, ⇒ 0.75 × 1488 = 1.20 × C ⇒ C = 930 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 930.
