Question 79

After two successive discounts of 20% and 12% an article is sold for Rs 16896. What is the marked price (in Rs) of the article?

Solution

Let marked price = Rs. $$100x$$

After first discount of 20%, price = $$100x \times \frac{(100-20)}{100}=80x$$

After second discount of 12%, price = $$80x \times \frac{(100-12)}{100}=70.4x$$

According to ques,

=> $$70.4x=16896$$

=> $$x=\frac{16896}{70.4}=240$$

$$\therefore$$ Marked price = $$100\times240=Rs.$$ $$24,000$$

=> Ans - (D)
