Rs 6,500

Rs 5,000

Rs 5,090

Rs 6,000

- The customer buys the stove for Rs 7,590, which includes the shopkeeper's 15% profit.

- Let's find the price at which the shopkeeper bought it from the manufacturer:

- Assume the shopkeeper's selling price (customer price) is Rs 7,590.

- Let the price shopkeeper bought from manufacturer be 'X'.

- So, \( X \times 1.15 = 7590 \).

- \( X = \frac{7590}{1.15} \).

- \( X = 6600 \).

- The shopkeeper purchased at Rs 6,600, which includes a 10% profit for the manufacturer.

- Let's find the manufacturing cost:

- Let 'Y' be the manufacturing cost.

- \( Y \times 1.10 = 6600 \).

- \( Y = \frac{6600}{1.10} \).

- \( Y = 6000 \).

- Hence, the manufacturing cost is Rs 6,000.

So, Option 4: Rs 6,000 is the correct answer.
