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.
