Correct Answer: INR 1,000
Solution : Let's assume the marked price is INR $x$. Discount = 10% of $x$ = 0.1$x$ So, the selling price after the 10% discount = $x - 0.1x = 0.9x$ Gain = 12.5% of the cost price = $\frac{12.5}{100}\times 800 = 0.125 \times800$ = INR 100 Selling Price = Cost Price + Gain = 800 + 100 = INR 900 Now, we know that the selling price after the 10% discount is also INR 900. So, 0.9$x$ = 900 ⇒ $x$ = 1000 Hence, the correct answer is INR 1,000.
