Option 3 : Either III or I and II
Let the cost price of the product be Rs. ‘x’
Selling price = Rs. 1620
Considering statement I,
Marked price = (100 + 35)% of x = 1.35x
Considering statement II,
Discount price = 20% of Marked price
Considering statements I and II,
Discount price = 20% of 1.35x = 0.27x
Selling price = Marked price - Discount
⇒ 1620 = 1.35x - 0.27x
⇒ x = 1620/1.08 = Rs. 1500
Considering statement III,
Profit = 8% of cost price = 0.08x
Selling price = cost price + profit
⇒ 1620 = x + 0.08x
⇒ x = 1620/1.08 = Rs. 1500
∴ The question can be answered using either statement III or statements I and II
