Solution

The correct option is C

₹800, 16%


Marked Price is the price labelled on any particular item / good.

Selling Price is the price on which that particular item / good is sold.

Discount = Marked Price - Selling Price

In this question,

Marked Price = ₹5,000 and
Selling Price = ₹4,200.

Discount = Marked Price - Selling Price
5000 - 4200 = ₹800
Discount = ₹800

Discount Percentage = DiscountMarked Price× 100
8005000× 100 = 16 %
Discount Percentage = 16 %
