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 =
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.
