The selling price of an article after giving two successive discounts of 10% and 5% on the marked price is TK. 171 . What is the marked price ?
- A. Tk. 240
- B. Tk. 240
- C. Tk. 240
- D. Tk. 240
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Equivalent Discount,
= (A + B) - AB/100
= (10 + 5) - (10 × 5)/100
= 14.5%
Let MP = X
Now,
X - 14.5% of X = 171(Selling Price)
0.855X = 171
X = 200
Hence, MP = Tk. 200
Going through options,
200(MP) = = 10%(disc.) ⇒ 180 = = 5%(disc.) ⇒ 171(CP)
