Question : An article is sold at a discount of 25% and an additional discount of 28% is allowed on cash payment. If Ramendra purchased the article by paying INR 10,800 in cash, then what was the marked price of the article?
Option 1: INR 19,800
Option 2: INR 20,800
Option 3: INR 20,000
Option 4: INR 18,000
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.
