On allowing two successive discounts of 20 percent and 15 percent, the selling price of an article becomes Rs. 3060. What is the marked price of the article?
A4000
B4100
C4200
D4500 ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 4500 — The answer is Rs. 4500.
Explanation
★The answer is Rs. 4500.
★After discounts of 20 percent then 15 percent, the price is 0.8 times 0.85 of the marked price, which is 0.68 of it.
★So 0.68 times the marked price equals 3060.
★The marked price is 3060 divided by 0.68.
★That equals 4500.
★The other options do not give this selling price.
★So the answer is Rs. 4500.
