Correct Answer: INR 675
Solution :
Let the marked price be $x$.
Selling price after 22.5% discount = $\frac{x\times(100-22.5)}{100}$
According to the question,
$\frac{77.5}{100}x=2325$
⇒ $x=3000$
Discount = 22.5% of marked price = $\frac{22.5}{100}×3000$ = INR 675
Hence, the correct answer is INR 675.
