Correct Answer: Rs. 1,125


Solution : Profit = (SP of 20 chairs) − (CP of 20 chairs), where SP is the selling price and CP is the cost price.
⇒ SP of 4 chairs = SP of 20 chairs – CP of 20 chairs
⇒ SP of 16 chairs = CP of 20 chairs = Rs. 18000
⇒ SP of 1 chair = $\frac{18000}{16} =1125$​
So, the selling price of each chair is Rs. 1,125.
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1,125.
