Solution

The correct option is C Rs. 9,000
Man gets 15% profit on first T.V.
C.P. of 1st T.V = 100100+Profit%×S.P.=100100+15×6900= Rs. 6000.

Therefore, profit on 1st T.V. = Rs. 69006000= Rs. 900.

So, the loss on second T.V. is Rs. 900.
Loss%=10%
Loss%=LossC.P.×100

10=900C.P.×100


10=90000C.P.

C.P.= Rs. 9000
