Correct Answer: Rs. 880


Solution : Let the Marked price of the watch be Rs. $y$
Actual CP of watch = 110% of Rs. 500 = Rs. $\frac{500\times 110}{100}$ = Rs. 550
According to the question,
Profit percentage = 20%
Discount percentage = 25%
Let the marked price be Rs. $y$.
⇒ $y\times \frac{75}{100}=\frac{550\times 120}{100}$
⇒ $y=\frac{550 \times 120}{75}$ = Rs. 880
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 880.
