Correct Answer: 434


Solution : Selling Price = Marked Price $-(\frac{\text { Marked Price } \times \text { Discount }}{100})$
Selling price for P = $300-\frac{300\times20}{100}$ = 240
Selling price for R = $400-\frac{400\times16}{100}$ = 336
J1 = Total selling price of article P and R = 240 + 336 = 576
Selling price for Q = $600-\frac{600\times25}{100}$ = 450
Selling price for T = $800-\frac{800\times30}{100}$ = 560
J2 = Total selling price of Q and T = 450 + 560 = 1010
Value of (J2 – J1) = 1010 – 576 = 434
Hence, the correct answer is 434.
