Solution

The correct option is B ₹840
Let the marked price of the dress be $₹ x$ .

After a 25% discount, the price of the dress = $(x - \frac{25 x}{100})$ .

According to the give data,
$\Rightarrow (x - \frac{25 x}{100}) = 630 \Rightarrow \frac{100 x - 25 x}{100} = 630 \Rightarrow \frac{75 x}{100} = 630 \Rightarrow \frac{3 x}{4} = 630 \Rightarrow x = 630 \times \frac{4}{3} \Rightarrow x = 210 \times 4 \Rightarrow x = 840$

$∴$ The marked price of the dress is ₹840.
