Correct Answer: 4,704


Solution : Let the cost price be $100x$.
Mark price after adding 35% in cost price = $135x$
Given: Mark price = INR 5670
According to the question,
$135x=5670$
⇒ $x=42$
$\therefore$ Cost price = $100x=100\times42=4200$
To get 12% profit,
Selling price = $\frac{\text{100 + profit%}}{\text{100}}\times$ cost price
= $\frac{\text{100 + 12}}{\text{100}}\times4200$
= $\frac{\text{112}}{\text{100}}\times4200$
= 4704
Hence, the correct answer is INR 4704.
