Correct Answer: (2)
Solution: (2)
If the C.P. of car be Rs. $x$,
then $(18+15) \%$ of $x=99000$
$\Rightarrow x \times \frac{33}{100}=99000$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{99000 \times 100}{33}$ $=$ Rs. 300000
$\therefore$ To gain $10 \%$,
Required S.P. $=$ Rs. $\left(\frac{300000 \times 110}{100}\right)$ $=$ Rs. 330000
