Answer

Given:

Cost price for retailer = ₹1500
Profit % of retailer on cost price = 10%

∴ Selling price of the spectacles by retailer (excluding tax) = Cost Price + Profit

=1500+10% of 1500=1500+(10100×1500)=1500+150=1650= 1500 + 10\% \text{ of } 1500 \\[1em] = 1500 + \Big(\dfrac{10}{100}\times1500\Big) \\[1em] = 1500 + 150 \\[1em] = \bold{₹1650}

∴ Option 2 is the correct option.
