Correct Answer: INR 1,20,000


Solution : For three successive discounts of 10%, 5%, and 4%, Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×\frac{100-\text{Discount}_3\%}{100}×$ marked price
$⇒ 98496=\frac{100-10}{100}×\frac{100-5}{100}×\frac{100-4}{100}×$ marked price
$⇒ 98496=\frac{90}{100}×\frac{95}{100}×\frac{96}{100}×$ marked price
$\therefore$ Mrked price $= 120000$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 1,20,000.
