The selling price of an article after giving two successive discounts of 10% and 5% on the marked price is TK. 171 . What is the marked price ?
A
Tk. 240
B
Tk. 220
C
Tk. 200
D
Tk. 250
Correct Answer: Tk. 200
Equivalent Discount, = (A + B) - AB/100 = (10 + 5) - (10 × 5)/100 = 14.5% Let MP = X Now, X - 14.5% of X = 171(Selling Price) 0.855X = 171 X = 200 Hence, MP = Tk. 200 Going through options, 200(MP) = = 10%(disc.) ⇒ 180 = = 5%(disc.) ⇒ 171(CP)
