Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. ₹12,800
Explanationव्याख्या
Let the cost price be CP.
100 = 9
5 25% discount factor: = 75
100 = 3
4 10% discount factor: = 90
100 = 9
10 Therefore: Final SP = CP × 9
5 × 3
4 × 9
10 = CP × 243
200 Given: 15,552 = CP × 243
200 Therefore: CP = 15,552 × 200 ÷ 243 = ₹12,800 Hence, the correct answer is ₹12,800.
मान लें क्रय मूल्य CP है।
80% markup means: 80% वृद्धि का अर्थ: 180
अतः सही उत्तर ₹12,800 है।
