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.
