Solution

Share

Cost price of TV = Rs. 12,500

Amount spent on transportation = Rs. 300 and installation = Rs. 800

Net spent = Rs. (12500 + 300 + 800) = Rs. 13,600

Let selling price = $$Rs.x$$

Profit % = $$\frac{x-13600}{13600} \times 100=15$$

=> $$x-13600=15 \times 136$$

=> $$x=2040+13600$$

=> $$x=Rs.$$ $$15,640$$

=> Ans - (E)
