Correct Answer: 500
Solution : Given that, Selling price of article = Rs. 532 and discount = 5% Let the cost price of the article be Rs. $y$. The marked price is 12% above the cost price, $\therefore$ Marked price = Rs. $\frac{112y}{100}$ According to the question, ⇒ $\frac{112y}{100}\times\frac{95}{100}=532$ ⇒ $y=\frac{532 \times10000}{112 \times 95}$ = Rs. 500 Hence, the correct answer is 500.
