Question

Initially, a television was being offered at a discount of 40%. The dealer reduced this discounted price further by 20% because the customer bargained. If the selling price of the television is Rs. 9600, then what is its market price?

• A. Rs 19200
• B. Rs 16000
• C. Rs 20000
• D. Rs 25000

Answer 1

The correct option is C Rs 20000

Let tha market price be $Rs.x$.

After $40$% discount the selling price$=x-\frac{40}{100}x=Rs0.6x$

Again the dealer gives further discount of $20$%.

So, new $SP=.6X-\frac{20}{100}0.6x=Rs.0.48x$

Now,

$0.48x=9600$

$⟹x=\frac{9600}{0.48}=20000$

Hence the market price is $Rs.20000$.
