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
