A trader lists a shirt for ₹2,000 and gives a 10% discount to a buyer. Despite the discount, he still gains a profit of 20%. The shirt's cost price

Correct option is A

Given:
Marked Price (MP) = ₹2000
Discount = 10%
Profit = 20%
Formula Used:
Selling Price = MP × (1 - $$\frac{Discount\%}{100}$$​)
Cost Price = $$\frac{Selling\ Price}{1 + \frac{Profit\%}{100}}$$​​
Solution:
Calculate the Selling Price after the discount.
Selling Price = 2000 × $$(1 - \frac{10}{100})$$​​
 = 2000 × 0.90 = 1800
Now calculate the Cost Price based on the profit gained.
Cost Price = $$\frac{1800}{1 + \frac{20}{100}}$$​​
​$$= \frac{1800}{1.20}$$​​

​$$= \frac{18000}{12} = 1500$$​​
Final Answer
So the correct answer is (a)
