Correct Answer: 1200
Solution : Let the labelled price be 100 SP after 1st discount of 25% of 100 = (100 – 25% of 100) = 75. SP after 2nd discount of 12% of 75 = $(75–\frac{75×12}{100})$ = 66. Thus, the selling price = 66% of the labelled price ⇒ 792 = $\frac{66}{100}$ × labelled price ⇒ Labelled price = 1200 Hence, the correct answer is 1200.
