Correct Answer: 16,800


Solution : Difference in selling prices = INR 504
Normal discount = 35%
Successive discounts = 20% and 15%
Effective discount = $20+15-\frac{20×15}{100} = 35-3 = 32$%
Difference in selling prices = difference in discount amount
⇒ 504 = (35% - 32%) of marked price
⇒ Marked price = $\frac{504}{0.03}$
= 16800
Hence, the correct answer is 16,800.
