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.
