    A 25:14 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 21:10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 24: 13 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 27:16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let's assume the marked price of the article is '100y'. Two successive discounts of 20% and 30% are given while selling an article. Selling price of the article = 100y of (100-20)% of (100-30)% = 100y of 80% of 70% = 56y Ratio of the marked price of the article to its selling price = 100y : 56y = 25 : 14
