Correct Answer: Rs. 3,96,000


Solution : Given:
On a deal, the car dealer allowed a 1% discount to a customer, the discount allowed was Rs. 4000.
Let the marked price = 100%
So, 1% is equivalent to Rs. 4000
Now 100% is equivalent to (4000 × 100) = Rs. 4,00,000
So, the marked price (MP) is Rs. 4,00,000
The selling price (SP) = marked price (MP) × $\frac{100-\text{discount percentage}}{100}$
= 4,00,000 × $\frac{100-1}{100}$
= 4,00,000 × $\frac{99}{100}$
= Rs. 3,96,000
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 3,96,000.
