B Correct answer
Explanation

First TV: SP = Rs. 3450, profit = 15%, so CP = 3450 ÷ 1.15 = Rs. 3000, profit = Rs. 450. For no overall profit/loss, second TV must have loss of Rs. 450 at 10%. If loss is 10% of CP₂ = 450, then CP₂ = 450 ÷ 0.10 = Rs. 4500. Option A equals first TV's SP, option C assumes 10% of 3450, and option D miscalculates the base.
