Solution

The correct option is C $R s .9000$
Let the cost price of DVD player $= x$

owner will take $= x + \frac{22}{100} \times x$ from the customer,
According to the question;
$(x + \frac{22}{100} x) = 10980$

$\frac{122}{100} x = 10980$

$x = \frac{10980 \times 100}{122}$

$x = 9, 000 =$ Cost price of DVD player
