The selling price of an article after giving two successive discounts of 10% and 5% on the marked price is Rs. 171. What is the marked price?
A. Rs. 200 B. Rs. 220 C. Rs. 240 D. Rs. 250 Answer: Option AShow Answer
Solution(By Apex Team)
Equivalent Discount,
$\begin{array}{l}=(\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B})-\frac{\mathrm{AB}}{100}\\
=(10+5)-\frac{10\times5}{100}\\
=14.5\%\end{array}$
Let MP = X
Now,
X – 14.5% of X = 171(Selling Price)
0.855X = 171
X = 200
Hence, MP = Rs. 200
Through options,
200(MP) == 10%(disc.) ⇒ 180 == 5%(disc.) ⇒ 171(CP)
