An article is sold at a discount of 25% and an additional discount of 28% is allowed on cash payment. If Ramendra purchased the article by paying ₹10,800 in cash, then what was the marked price of the article?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. ₹20,000.
Let the M.P. be x
⇒ x × (100 - D1)% × (100 - D2)% = S.P.
⇒ x × (100 - 25)% × (100 - 28)% = 10800
⇒ x × 75/100 × 72/100 = 10800
⇒ x = (10800 × 100 × 100)/(75 × 72)
⇒ x = ₹ 20000
