Question

A pair of articles was bought for ₹48 at a discount of $25\%$. What must be the marked price of each of the articles?

• A. ₹32
• B. ₹48
• C. ₹26
• D. ₹40.5

Answer 1

The correct option is A ₹32

S.P. of each article $=₹\left(\frac{48}{2}\right)=24$

Let M.P. be $x$.

Then, $75\%ofx=24$

$x=\frac{24\times 100}{75}$ = ₹32
