Correct Answer: INR 1800
Solution :
Given: By selling a watch for INR 1,600, a person gets a profit equal to the loss of selling the same watch for INR 1,400.
Here the cost price is denoted by CP, the selling price is denoted by SP.
So, the CP = $\frac{1600+1400}{2}$ = INR 1500.
Now to get 20% profit,
The SP = $\frac{1500×120}{100}$ = INR 1800.
Hence, the correct answer is INR 1800.
