Correct Answer: 49 : 30
Solution : Let the cost price be Rs. 100 Selling price when sold at 30% loss = Rs. 70 Selling price = $\frac{3}{7}$ of Marked price ⇒ Marked price = $\frac{7}{3}$ of Selling price = 70 × ($\frac{7}{3})$ = $\frac{490}{3}$ Required ratio = $\frac{\frac{490}{3}}{100}=49:30$ Hence, the correct answer is 49 : 30.
