$\huge{\textbf{\textsf{{\color{navy}{Sol}}{\purple{uti}}{\pink{on}}{\color{pink}{:}}}}}$

GIVEN :-

SP :- ₹13500

She loses :- 20%

→ basically she made a loss

so,

She sold the machine at (100% - 20%)

= 80% of Cp

= $\frac{100}{80}$ × ₹ 13500

= $\frac{100}{8 \cancel0}$ × $\bold{₹ 1350\cancel0}$

= $\frac{135000}{8}$

= ₹ 16, 875

so bought the washing machine at ₹ 16875
