    D.

    ₹4,000

    Profit by Kunal = 10%

    Final price paid by Amar = ₹5,060

    Solution:
    Let original cost price be ₹x

    x×(1+15100)×(1+10100)=5060x \times \left(1 + \frac{15}{100}\right) \times \left(1 + \frac{10}{100}\right) = 5060​​

    x×1.15×1.10=5060 x×1.265=5060 x=50601.265=4000x \times 1.15 \times 1.10 = 5060\\ \ \\ x \times 1.265 = 5060 \\ \ \\ x = \frac{5060}{1.265} = 4000​​
