Correct Answer: 672
Solution : Here Marked price is denoted by MP, selling price is denoted by SP. Given: SP = INR 864 Discount = 25% each Let the MP be $x$ According to the question, $x×\frac{100-25}{100}×\frac{100-25}{100}=864$ ⇒ $x×\frac{75}{100}×\frac{75}{100}=864$ ⇒ $\frac{9x}{16}=864$ ⇒ $x=1536$ We know that, Discount = MP – SP = 1536 – 864 = INR 672 Hence, the correct answer is 672.
