Correct Answer: INR 440


Solution : Selling price = INR 360
Loss = 10% of cost price
Cost price = selling price + loss
Cost price = 360 + 10% of cost price
⇒ 90% of cost price = 360
⇒ Cost price = $\frac{360}{0.9}$ = INR 400
Profit = 10% of cost price = $\frac{10}{100}$ × 400 = INR 40
Selling price = cost price + profit = 400 + 40 = 440
Hence, the correct answer is INR 440.
