Manish sells a parcel of land for ₹2,20,000 after giving a rebate of 45% on its original listed price. What was the original valuation of the land before the rebate was applied?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Given:

Discount = 45%

Selling Price = ₹2,20,000

According to the formula:

Selling Price = Marked Price × (100 − Discount%) / 100

2,20,000 = MP × 55/100

MP = 2,20,000 × 100 / 55

MP = ₹4,00,000
