Correct Answer: Rs. 1,000
Solution : Given: Discount of 9% on a watch. A discount of 6% yields Rs. 30 more profit. We know, Marked price = $\frac{\text{Selling price}}{(1 - \frac{\text{Discount %}}{100})}$ Let marked price = $x$ ⇒ Difference in selling price with 9% and 6% discount = Rs. 30 ⇒ $x × \frac{9}{100} - x × \frac{6}{100} = 30$ ⇒ $x × \frac{3}{100} = 30$ ⇒ $x = 1000$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1000.
