Correct Answer: INR 3,000


Solution : Given, Discount = 12.5% and Selling price = 2625
Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}\%}{100}×\text{Marked price}$
⇒ $2625 = \frac{100-12.5}{100}×\text{Marked price}$
$\therefore$ Marked price $=\frac{100×2625}{87.5}=3000$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 3,000.
