Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 6048.

Given:

The cost price of the cooler = Rs 4800

Profit % = 26%

Formula used:

Selling price = Cost price × (100 + profit)%

Selling price of the cooler = 4800 × (100 + 26)%

⇒ 4800 × 126%

⇒ 4800 × 1.26 = Rs 6048
