D Correct answer
Explanation

Let marked price be MP. Rajesh had MP - 6000 initially. After successive discounts of 10% and 5%, the selling price is MP × 0.9 × 0.95 = 0.855MP. Money remaining after purchase: (MP - 6000) - 0.855MP = 9370. Solving: 0.145MP = 15370, so MP = 15370 / 0.145 = Rs. 106,000. Option D is correct.
