Detailed Solution

Given, Juhi sells a washing machine for 13500. She lost 20% in the bargain.
This means she sold at 80% of its original price.

percentage = \frac{Selling Price}{Original price} \times 100

So the price of the washing machine is

\frac{13500}{80} \times 100 = 16875

.
Therefore the price at which she bought it was Rs. 16875.
So, option 1 is correct.
