A. Rs. 9800

B. Rs. 10000

C. Rs. 10200

D. Rs. 10400

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

According to the question,
Given,
Loss = Cost price - 9400 = x ......(i)
Profit = 10600 - Cost price = 2x .......(ii)
Put the value of equation (i) in equation (ii)
∴ 10600 - Cost price = 2
(Cost price - 9400)
10600 - Cost price = 2 Cost Price - 18800
3 Cost price = 29400
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Cost price}} = \frac{{29400}}{3} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 9800 \cr & {\text{Cost price}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 9800}} \cr} $$
