Correct Answer: Rs. 800
Solution : Here CP denotes cost price and SP denotes selling price. CP = SP$(\frac{100}{100-Loss\%})$ ⇒ CP = 600$(\frac{100}{100-10})$ ⇒ CP = 600$(\frac{100}{90})$ ⇒ CP = Rs. $\frac{6000}{9}$ SP = CP$(\frac{100+Profit\%}{100})$ ⇒ SP = $\frac{6000}{9}(\frac{100+20}{100})$ ⇒ SP = $\frac{6000}{9}(\frac{120}{100})$ ⇒ SP = Rs. 800 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 800.
