Correct answer: A. Rs. 204204 रुपये

Explanation

At a 10% loss, SP = 90% of CP, so CP = 153 × 100/90 = Rs. 170. For a 20% profit the new SP = 170 × 120/100 = Rs. 204.10% हानि पर विक्रय मूल्य = क्रय मूल्य का 90%, अतः क्रय मूल्य = 153 × 100/90 = 170 रुपये। 20% लाभ के लिए नया विक्रय मूल्य = 170 × 120/100 = 204 रुपये।
