Correct Answer: 4 : 3
Solution : Let the cost price be Rs. 100. Final selling price after 20% profit = Rs. 120 (Discounted price) With a 10% discount, the selling price is 90% of the marked price. So, Marked price = $120\times \frac{100}{90}=\frac{400}{3}$ The ratio of marked price to cost price = $\frac{\frac{400}{3}}{100}$ = $4 : 3$ Hence, the correct answer is 4 : 3.
