• A. ₹159, ₹1491
• B. ₹198, ₹1452
• C. ₹128, ₹1522
• D. ₹216, ₹1434

Answer 1

The correct option is B ₹198, ₹1452

We have,
Marked price of the shirt = ₹1650, discount $\%=12\%$
$\therefore$ Discount $=12\%$ of ₹1650 $=(\frac{12}{100}\times 1650)=₹198$
S.P. of the shirt = M.P. - Discount
= ₹(1650 - 198)
= ₹1452
