Answer: Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the clock be "x "

<em>The clock is then resold to a collector = x + 20% of "x "</em>

<em>= x + 0.2x</em>

<em>= 1.2x</em>

Now, the shop re-buy the clock at a price = <em>Reselling\ price \times 0.50</em>

<em>= 1.2x \times 0.5</em>

<em>= 0.6x </em>

Therefore,

<em>Original Cost - Buy-Back price = $100</em>

<em>⇒ x - 0.6x = 100</em>

<em>⇒ x = 250  </em>

Hence , the selling price of the clock for the second time is

<em>= 1.8\times0.6\times250</em>

<em>= $270 </em>

<em></em>
