After a price increase of 23%, a television set costs ₹56,703. What was its original price (in₹)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 46,100.

Let the original price be ₹100 → After 23% increase → New price = ₹123

123% = 56,703

1% = 56703/123 = 461

100% = 461 × 100 = ₹46,100
