    A) Rs. 13252                     

    B) Rs. 13041

    C) Rs. 13125                     

    D) Rs. 13345

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b)
    MP of the TV set = Rs.15000
    SP of the TV set is CP to the person.
    \[\therefore \]\[CP=\text{Rs}\text{. }\left( \frac{80}{100}\times \frac{90}{100}\times 15000 \right)=\text{Rs}\text{. 10800}\]
    Cost of transport \[=\frac{5}{100}\times 10800=\text{Rs}\text{. 540}\]
    Total CP\[=10800+540=\text{Rs}\text{.}\,\,11340\]
    Gain% = 15%
    \[\therefore \]Required SP\[=\frac{11340}{100}\times 115=\text{Rs}\text{. 13041}\]
