C Correct answer
Explanation

Difference in profit = 9% - 6% = 3%. 3% of CP = 9, so CP = 300. Selling price 1 = 300 * 1.06 = 318. Selling price 2 = 300 * 1.09 = 327.

AI explanation

The difference between 9% and 6% profit equals Rs. 9. Therefore, 3% of the cost price equals Rs. 9, which yields a cost price of Rs. 300. The two selling prices become 106% of 300 for Rs. 318 and 109% of 300 for Rs. 327.
