Correct answer: C
Let the cost price be Rs x.
15% loss means selling price = x - 0.15x = 0.85x.
15% gain means selling price = x + 0.15x = 1.15x.
Difference = 1.15x - 0.85x = 0.30x.
Given, 0.30x = 450.
So, x = 450 / 0.30 = 1500.
हिन्दी उत्तर:
माना क्रय मूल्य Rs x है।
15% हानि का अर्थ है विक्रय मूल्य = x - 0.15x = 0.85x।
15% लाभ का अर्थ है विक्रय मूल्य = x + 0.15x = 1.15x।
अंतर = 1.15x - 0.85x = 0.30x।
दिया गया है, 0.30x = 450।
इसलिए, x = 450 / 0.30 = 1500।
