Correct Answer: 2,025


Solution : Selling price of an article = Rs. 2,400
So, $\frac{(100-20)}{100} \times$ Marked price = Rs. 2,400
$\therefore$ Marked price = $\frac{2400 \times 100}{80}$ = Rs. 3,000
If a 32.5% discount is allowed then,
Selling price = $\frac{100 − 32.5}{100} \times 3000=\frac{67.5}{100}\times3000 =2025$
Hence, the correct answer is 2,025.
