Correct Answer: INR 470


Solution : Let the marked price of the article be $x$
Cost price of the article at 30% discount = $x × \frac{70}{100}$
Selling price at 30% profit = $\frac{130}{100}\times$ cost price
According to the question,
$x × \frac{70}{100} × \frac{130}{100} = 427.70$
⇒ $x = 42.70 × \frac{100}{130} × \frac{100}{70}$
⇒ $x = 470$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 470.
