A mobile phone was sold for Rs.31,500 after giving two successive discounts of 30% and 10%, respectively. What was the marked price of the mobile?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e Rs.50,000.

Understanding/Application

S.P. of mobile = Rs. 31500

Let the marked price be x.

Price after 30% discount = 70x/100

S.P. after 10% discount = (90/100) × (70x/100)

(90/100) × (70x/100) = 31500

x = Rs. 50,000
