Correct Answer: INR 1,180


Solution : Let the marked price is denoted as MP and cost price as CP.
After allowing a discount of 16% a profit of 18% is gained.
$\frac{CP}{MP}=\frac{100-\text{discount%}}{100+\text{profit%}}$ = $\frac{100-16}{100+18}$
⇒ $\frac{CP}{MP}=\frac{84}{118}$
Given: Cost price = INR 840
84 unit = 840
⇒ 1 unit = 10
So, MP = 118 × 10 = 1180
Hence, the correct answer is INR 1180.
