    A.

    648

    B.

    636

    C.

    432

    D.

    660

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Cost Price (C.P.) = Rs. 540

    Profit = 20%

    Formula Used:

    S.P. = C.P.×(1+Profit %100) C.P. \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{Profit \%}}{100}\right)​​

    Solution:

    S.P. = 540×(1+20100)540 \times \left(1 + \frac{20}{100}\right)​​

    =540×1.20= 540 \times 1.20​​

    = 648

    Thus, Selling price is Rs. 648
