Correct Answer: Rs. 10,400
Solution : The following formula can be used: Cost Price + Profit = Selling Price The Cost Price = Rs 6400, Profit/ Gain = 30% (Profit based upon cost) ⇒ 6400 + 30% of 6400 = Selling Price ⇒ 6400 + 1920 = Selling Price ⇒ Selling Price = Rs. 8320 Also, Marked Price (MP) – Discount = Selling Price ⇒ MP – 20% of MP = 8320 ⇒ $\frac{\text{100MP – 20MP}}{100}$ = 8320 ⇒ 80MP = 832000 ⇒ MP = $\frac{832000}{80}$ ⇒ MP = Rs. 10,400 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 10,400.
