Correct Answer: Rs. 9,200
Solution : Given: The difference between the cost price and selling price = Rs. 1200 The difference in percentage between the cost price and selling price = 15% $\because$ Both the differences are equal. Thus, $\frac{15}{100}$ of the cost price = 1200 $\therefore$ The cost price = Rs. 8000 Selling price = cost price + profit = 8000 + 1200 = 9200 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 9200.
