A discount at 20% on one article is the same as a discount of 25% on another article. The marked price of article can be ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. ₹100 and ₹80

Discount = Marked Price × Discount%

Let the marked price of the article be x and y

⇒ 20% of x = 25% of y

⇒ 4 of x = 5 of y

⇒ x : y = 5 : 4

So the marked price of the article must be Rs.100 and Rs.80
