Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Rs. 8300.

Understanding/Application

Let the Marked Price of the cooler be Rs.100x.

Selling Price after a discount of 15% = 85% of Rs.100x = Rs.85x

Selling Price after a discount of 19% = 81% of Rs.100x = Rs.81x

ATQ-

Rs.85x - Rs.81x = Rs.332

4x = 332

x = 83

Marked price = Rs. 100x = 100(83) = Rs. 8300
