Correct Answer: Rs. 18000
Solution : The vendor expects a gain of 15% on his cost price. This means that the selling price is 115% of the cost price. The selling price is Rs. 138000, then the cost price = $\frac{138000×100}{115}$ = Rs. 120000 $\therefore$ Profit = Rs. 138000 – Rs. 120000 = Rs. 18000 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 18000.
