Solution

The correct option is B Rs. 6,000
The advertising price is basically the marked price.
Agent makes a profit of 20% after giving a discount of 10%

Marked Price × (1 Discount%)=Cost Price ×(1+Profit%)

MP×90100=CP×120100=SP

Profit =SPCP
900=20100×CP
CP=4500

Advertised Price =12090×4500= Rs. 6000

Answer = Rs 6000
