Correct Answer: Rs. 750
Solution :
Given: While selling a shirt, a shopkeeper gives a discount of 7%. If he gives a discount of 9%, he earns Rs. 15 less in profit.
Here, (7 – 5) = 2% is equivalent to Rs. 15
So, 100% is equivalent to ($\frac{15×100}{2}$) = Rs. 750
Therefore, the marked price is Rs. 750.
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 750.
