Correct Answer: 600
Solution : Here SP denotes the selling price, CP denotes the cost price, and MP denotes the marked price. Let MP be Rs. 100. Discount = 10% of MP = $\frac{10}{100} \times 100$ = Rs. 10 SP = MP − Discount = 100 − 10 = Rs. 90 Cost price = Rs. 450 Gain = 20% of CP = $\frac{20}{100} \times 450$ = Rs. 90 SP = CP + Gain = 450 + 90 = Rs. 540 If SP is 90, then MP is 100. When SP is 540, MP = $\frac{540\times100}{90}$ = Rs. 600 Hence, the correct answer is 600.
