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.
