Correct Answer: INR 269.46
Solution : Given, Discount = 20% Amount paid by the bookseller = 80% of 1574.80 = $\frac{80}{100}\times 1574.80$ = INR 1,259.84 Also, expenses = INR 45.50 ⇒ The total cost price = INR 1,259.84 + INR 45.50 = INR 1,305.34 Selling price = 1574.80 ⇒ Profit = 1574.80 - 1305.34 = INR 269.46 Hence, the correct answer is INR 269.46.
