Solution

The correct option is B
₹ 5500

Let the marked price be 'x'.

Selling Price = ₹ 5225

Discount % = 5 %

We know that a discount is given on the marked price.

Selling Price = Marked Price - Discount

$\Rightarrow$ 5225 = x - 5% of x

$\Rightarrow$ 5225 = x - 0.05x

$\Rightarrow$ 5225 = 0.95x

$\Rightarrow$ x = ₹ $\frac{5225}{0.95}$ = ₹ 5500

Hence, the marked price is ₹ 5500
