Correct Answer: Rs. 600
Solution : Given: Discount percentage = 10%, gain percentage = 26% and marked price (MP) = Rs. 840 So, the selling price (SP) = $\frac{\text{Marked Price}×(100-\text{Profit%)}}{100}$ = $\frac{840(100-10)}{100}$ = Rs. 756 To gain 26%, Cost price = $\frac{\text{Selling Price} × 100}{100+\text{Gain%}}=\frac{756×100}{100+26}$ = Rs. 600 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 600.
