Correct Answer: Rs. 300


Solution : Let the original Marked price be Rs. 100.
So, the discount is = (100 – 86) = Rs. 14
Now for the discount of Rs. 14, the original Marked price is = Rs. 100
Then for the discount of Rs .42, the original Marked price is = $(\frac{100×42}{14})$ = Rs. 300
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 300.
