Correct Answer: Rs. 7500


Solution : The cost price of an article is Rs. 5500.
It was sold at a profit of 9.09%.
$\therefore$ Selling price $=\frac{100+9.09}{100}×5500 = 6000$
It was sold at a discount of 20%.
$\therefore$ Marked price $=\frac{100}{100-20}×6000=7500$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 7500.
