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.
