Correct Answer: INR 1,500
Solution :
Let the cost price be $x$.
So, selling price = $\frac{90}{100}×x=\frac{9x}{10}$
According to the question,
$270=\frac{108x}{100} - \frac{9x}{10}$
$⇒18x=270×100$
$\therefore x = 1500$
So, the cost Price of the goods for Arun was INR 1,500.
Hence, the correct answer is INR 1,500.
