Correct Answer: INR 8,400
Solution : Given: Ramesh incurred a loss of 10% after selling a phone. Let the cost price of the phone be INR $x$. Selling price = Cost price + Profit The selling price of the phone = $x$ – 10% of $x$. ⇒ $x-0.1x=0.9x$ If he had sold the phone for INR 1,260 more, then he would have made a profit of 5%. ⇒ Profit = 5% of $x$ = $0.05x$ The selling price of the phone = $0.9x+ 1260$ So, $x+0.05x=0.9x+1260$ ⇒ $0.15x=1260$ ⇒ $x=\frac{1260}{0.15}$ ⇒ $x=$ INR 8,400 Hence, the correct answer is INR 8,400.
