Solution

The correct option is B 3,00,000.
Cost of typewriter = Purchase price + direct expenses
= 2,00,000 + 20,000 + 20,000
= 2,40,000
Sales value = Cost price + profit (WN 1)
= 2,40,000 + 60,000
= RS-3,00,000

Working note:-
1) Calculation of profit:-
Given :- profit is 20% of selling price
Lets assume if sales is 100, then profit is 20% of 100
Cost = sales - profit
= 100 - 20
= 80
Therefore, profit = cost x 100/80
= 2,40,000 x 100/80
= RS-3,00,000
