B Correct answer
Explanation

To find the selling price, you need the marked price and the discount percentage. Statement (b) provides the marked price (180), and statement (d) provides the discount percentage (10%). Profit percentage is irrelevant to calculating the final selling price if the marked price and discount are known.

AI explanation

The final selling price can be found using the marked price and the discount percentage. Using row (b), the marked price is given as Rs. 180, and using row (d), the discount percentage is 10%, so the selling price is 180 times 0.90, equaling Rs. 162. The profit percentage and other expressions are not needed to find this final price. Therefore, the combination of (b) and (d) is sufficient to answer the question.
