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.
