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.
