    D 614 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price of article ‘P’ = Rs. 100 y Then, according to the question, 30y = 900 Or, y = (900/30) = 30 So, cost price of article = Rs. 3000 Marked price of the article = 3000 × 1.4 = 4200 Price after 1st discount of 13% = 4200 × 0.87 = 3654 So, further discount be given = 3654 – 3000 = Rs. 654 Or, x = 654
