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.
