Correct Answer: INR 20,000


Solution : Given,
Two discounts are 25% and 28%
Selling price of shopkeeper = INR 10,800
Let the market price of the article be INR $x$.
According to the question,
M.P × (100 – D 1 )% × (100 – D 2 )% = S.P
$x$ × (100 – 25)% × (100 – 28)% = 10800
$x\times\frac{75}{100}\times\frac{72}{100}=10800$
⇒ $x=\frac{10800\times100\times100}{75\times72}$
⇒ $x=20000$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 20,000.
