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.
