Correct Answer: Rs. 920
Solution : Given: A trader marks his goods in such a way that after allowing a discount of 10%, he gains 15% and his cost price is Rs. 720. Let the marked price = 100 units Discount = 10% So, the selling price = (100 – 10) = 90 units Gain = 15% So, cost price = $90×\frac{100}{(100+15)}$ = $\frac{1800}{23}$ units Here $\frac{1800}{23}$ units are equivalent to Rs. 720. So, 100 units is equivalent to ($\frac{720×100}{\frac{1800}{23}})$ = Rs. 920 Therefore, the marked price is Rs. 920. Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 920.
