  2. B
    1,63,900
  3. C
    1,62,756
  4. D
    1,62,800

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let the Cost Price (CP) be 100%.
The shopkeeper expects a gain of 36%, so the Selling Price (SP) is:

SP=100%+36%=136%
Given that the sale (SP) is ₹6,14,856:

136%=6,14,856
We need to find the profit, which is 36%:

Profit=
136
6,14,856

Profit=4,521×36=₹1,62,756
