D Correct answer
Explanation

Let the labelled price of the TV be Rs. y. Discount  in 1st case = 0.1y Discount  in 2nd case = 0.2y Now, in both cases, the difference is only 10%, i.e. Rs. 500. i.e. 10% of y = Rs. 500 i.e. (10/100) X y = 500  And y = Rs. 5000 Therefore, that man bought the TV at discount of 10% on marked price. i.e. (10/100) x 5000 = Rs. 500 Buying price = Rs. 5000 - Rs. 500 = Rs. 4500
