Correct Answer: 37,500
Solution : Given: A shopkeeper is allowed a 20% discount on his advertised price and makes a profit of 25% on his outlay. Let the cost price be 100 units. Selling price = $100×\frac{125}{100}=125$ units (since profit if 25%) Profit = (125 – 100) = 25 units Marked price $=125×\frac{5}{4}=\frac{625}{4}$ units (Since discount is 20%) Here 25 units = Rs. 6000 (Given that the profit is Rs 6,000) ⇒ 1 unit = $\frac{6000}{25}$ ⇒ $\frac{625}{4}$ units = $\frac{6000}{25}×\frac{625}{4}$ = Rs. 37,500 Hence, the correct answer is 37,500.
