Detailed Solution

Concept- We observe several moments each day where we must perform calculations or comparisons. Circumstances that mostly involve purchasing or selling goods. The selling price formula may be used to determine the selling price at which the object will be sold. The price a buyer pays to purchase a product is referred to as the selling price.
The selling price of washing machine = Rs. 13500
Loss percent =20%  
Let the cost price of the washing machine be Rs. x.
Loss = Loss% of C.P.
  Loss =20%   of Rs. x= 20 100 ×x= x 5  
Therefore, S.P. = C.P. - Loss
13500=x x 5 13500= 4x 5  
x= 13500×5 4 =Rs.16,875  
So, the cost price of washing machine is Rs. 16,875.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
