Correct Answer: INR 6,000


Solution : Profit = INR 800
Profit percentage = 20% of the cost price
20% of the cost price = INR 800
⇒ Cost price = $\frac{800}{0.2}$ = INR 4000
Selling price = Cost price + Profit = 4000 + 800 = INR 4800
Discount = 20% of marked price
⇒ 80% of marked price = INR 4800
⇒ Marked price = $\frac{4800}{0.8}$ = INR 6000
Hence, the correct answer is INR 6000.
