Correct Answer: INR 75,000
Solution : Given: An article is sold for INR 54,120 after two successive discounts of 12 percent and 18 percent. For two successive discounts Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×$ marked price $54120=(1–\frac{12}{100})\times(1–\frac{18}{100})\times MP$ ⇒ $54120=\frac{88}{100}\times \frac{82}{100}\times MP$ ⇒ $MP=\frac{54120\times100\times100}{88\times 82}=$ INR 75,000 Hence, the correct answer is INR 75,000.
