Correct Answer: 800
Solution : Let the marked price of the camera be Rs. $x$. According to the question, (100 – 10)% of $x$ = 120% of 600 (Since Selling price = Cost price + Profit = Marked price – Discount) ⇒ $x$ × 90 = 600 × 120 ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{600×120}{90}$ = Rs. 800 Hence, the correct answer is 800.
