• A. ₹5000
• B. ₹5500
• C. ₹4500
• D. ₹6000

Answer 1

The correct option is B

₹5500

Let the marked price (M.P) be x
According to the information given:x> 5225 as it is the marked price

⇒ $S.P=M.P-Discount$
⇒$S.P=M.P-5\%$ of $M.P$

⇒$5225=x-5\%$ of $x$

⇒$5225=x-\frac{5}{100}$ $\times$ $x$

⇒$5225=x-0.05$ $\times$ $x$

⇒ $5225=0.95x$

⇒ $x=5500$

Hence, the marked price of almirah is ₹5500.
