C Correct answer
Explanation

Let table price = T, chair price = C. We know T + C = 500. Table sold at 10% loss: 0.9T. Chair sold at 10% gain: 1.1C. Total gain = 10, so 0.9T + 1.1C - 500 = 10. Substituting T = 500 - C: 0.9(500 - C) + 1.1C - 500 = 10. This gives 450 - 0.9C + 1.1C - 500 = 10, so 0.2C = 60, therefore C = 300. The chair costs Rs 300.
