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.
