Question

Reshma bought a pair of boots on her birthday for $\text{Rs.}2599$ without any discount. What is the effective cost price of the boots?

• A. 2500
• B. 2599
• C. $\text{Rs.}0$
• D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2599

A discount can be defined as the deduction in the MRP(Maximum Retail Price) of something. [The pair of boots in this case]

The effective Cost Price$(C.P.)$ is calculated after applying the discount.

For example, let the discount on an article of MRP $\text{Rs.}P$ be $d\%$.

Then, the effective Cost Price $=\text{Rs.}(P-P\times \frac{d}{100})$

In the given question, there is no discont on the pair of boots, i.e. Discount $=0\%$

$\Rightarrow$ Effective Cost Price of the pair of boots $=\text{Rs.}(2599-2599\times 0)=\text{Rs.}2599$
