Solution

The correct option is A Flipkart
The deal in flipkart was 25% discount on Rs 10000.

The sale price = 10000×10025100=10000×75100=7500

The deal in snapdeal was 30% discount on Rs 11000

Sale price in snapdeal = 11000×10030100=11000×70100=7700

In terms of the sale price, or the cost price, the deal in flipkart is a better deal, since the phone would cost Rs 7500, which is Rs 200 lesser than the price in snapdeal, which is Rs 7700
