Correct Answer: 1649


Solution : The selling price of an item after a discount = Marked price – Discount
The discount is usually a percentage of the marked price. In this case, the discount is 15% of Rs.1,940.
Discount = $\frac{15}{100}$ × 1940 = Rs. 291
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
Selling price = 1940 – 291 = Rs. 1649
Hence, the correct answer is 1649.
