Correct Answer: 40


Solution : Given,
The marked price of one pen is Rs. x
Discount is given: 15%
Selling price of one packet of 'x' pens after discount: Rs. 1,360
We know,
Selling price = Marked price - Discount
Now, the marked price of x pens = x 2
So, according to the question
⇒ 85% of x 2 = 1360
⇒ x 2 = $\frac{1360 \times 100}{85}$
⇒ x 2 = 1600
⇒ x = 40
Hence, the correct answer is 40.
