Correct Answer: INR 3,500
Solution : Given: The marked price of a ceiling fan = INR 4,200 And profit = 14% of Cost price Also, discount = 5% of Marked price So, Selling rice = $\frac{(100-5)}{100}×4200$ $\therefore$ Selling price = INR 3990 Since profit = 14% of Cost price, Selling price = 114% of the Cost price ⇒ 3990 = $\frac{114}{100}$ × Cost price $\therefore$ Cost price = INR 3500 Hence, the correct answer is INR 3,500.
