C.

Correct option is D

Given:

Profit Percentage = 50%

Formula Used:

Profit% = S.PC.PC.P×100\frac{S.P - C.P}{C.P} \times 100

Solution:

​​C.P×90=S.P×xS.P.C.P=90xProfit%=90xx×10050=90xx×10050x=9000100x150x=9000x=9000150x=60Therefore, the value of x is60.C.P \times 90 = S.P \times x\\\frac{S.P.}{C.P}= \frac{90}{x}\\Profit\% = \frac{90 - x}{x} \times 100\\50 = \frac{90 - x}{x} \times 100\\50x = 9000 - 100x\\150x = 9000\\x = \frac{9000}{150}\\x = 60\\\text {Therefore, the value of x is} 60.​​
