The correct answer is Option 2. i.e. Rs.87,360.

Given:

S.P. = ₹65,520

Discount, D = 25%

Concept Used:

S.P. = M.P.×(100−D)100M.P. \times{(100 - D) \over 100}   .....(i)

Explanation:

From equation (i), 65,520 = M.P.×(100−25)100M.P. \times{(100 - 25) \over 100}

⇒ M.P. = 65,520×10075{65,520 \times 100} \over 75

⇒ M.P. =  87,360

Hence the marked price is ₹87,360.
