Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Key idea: the selling price = cost price × (1 − loss%).
Step 1: Calculate the loss amount: 16% of 1125 = 0.16 × 1125 = 180.
Step 2: Subtract the loss from the cost price: 1125 − 180 = 945.
Alternative: Directly compute selling price = 1125 × (84/100) = 945.
Therefore the selling price of the toy is Rs.945.
