Correct Answer: 720
Solution : Given, Cost Price = INR 540, Profit Percentage = 20%, Discount Percentage = 10% Here cost price is denoted by CP, the selling price is denoted by SP, and MP denotes the marked price. Profit = Profit Percentage × CP ⇒ Profit = 0.20 × 540 = INR 108 SP = CP + Profit ⇒ SP = 540 + 108 = INR 648 Now, a discount of 10% is given on the marked price, the selling price is 90% of the marked price: ⇒ SP = 0.90 × MP ⇒ 648 = 0.90 × MP ⇒ MP = $\frac{648}{0.90}$ ⇒ MP = INR 720 Hence, the correct answer is 720.
