Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e ₹711
Concept Used :
S.P. = O.P. × (100 - D)/100
Given :
S.P. = ₹480
D1 = 25%
D2 = 10%
Now, 480 = O.P. × (75/100) × (90/100)
⇒ O.P. = 480 × (100/75) × (100/90)
⇒ O.P. = 6400/9
⇒ O.P. = 711.11
Hence the required original price (to the nearest ₹) is ₹711.
