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.
