A shopkeeper allows two successive discounts of 20% and 25% on selling an article. If he gets Rs. 600 for the article, then what is the marked price of the article?1. Rs. 8002. Rs. 9003. Rs. 7504. Rs. 1000

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 1000

Given:

Two successive discounts of 20% and 25%.

SP of the article = Rs. 600

Formula used:

Calculation:

Let the marked price be Rs. x

After first discount of 20%, price = Rs.(x - x × 20/100) = Rs. (4x)/5

After second discount of 25%, price = Rs.[(4x)/5 - (4x)/5 × 25/100) = Rs. (3x)/5

According to problem,

⇒ (3x)/5 = 600

⇒ x = 1000

The Marked price of the article is Rs. 1000.
