Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Rs. 90000.
Given:
The current price of a scooter is Rs 72000
The original price has been reduced by 20%.
Calculations:
Let the original price of the scooter be 100x.
According to the question
⇒ 80x = 72000
⇒ 100x = 72000/80 = 90000
Hence, the original price of the scooter was Rs 90000.
