Correct Answer: 900


Solution : The marked price (MP) = Selling price (SP) × $\frac{100}{(100-\text{discount percentage})}$
The trousers were purchased for INR 765 after a 15% discount, which means that INR 765 is 85% of the marked price (MP) (because 100% – 15% = 85%).
MP = 765 × $\frac{100}{85}$ = INR 900
Hence, the correct answer is 900.
