    B ₹650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price be x. Profit = 20% of x = (20/100) * x = 0.2x Selling Price = Cost Price + Profit = x + 0.2x = 1.2x Given, 1.2x = 720 Solving for x, we get x = 720 / 1.2 = ₹600 Answer: (A)
