Correct Answer: Rs. 1000
Solution : Given: An article was sold at Rs. 950, allowing a 5% discount on the marked price. Let the marked price be 100 units. So, after a 5% discount the selling price = (100 – 5) = 95 units Here, 95 units are equivalent to Rs. 950. So, 100 units is equivalent to ($\frac{950×100}{95}$) = Rs. 1000 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1000.
