Correct Answer: INR 11.50
Solution : Selling price = INR 9 Loss = 10% of cost price Selling price = Cost price – Loss ⇒ 9 = cost price – 10% of cost price ⇒ 9 = 90% of cost price ⇒ Cost price = $\frac{9}{90}×100$ =INR 10 So, Profit = 15% of cost price = 15% of 10 = INR 1.5 Now, Selling price = cost price + profit = 10 + 1.5 = INR 11.5 Hence, the correct answer is INR 11.5.
