    E ₹14,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The merchant sells the article at a price 25% more than the cost price. Selling price of the merchant = ₹8000 + 25% of ₹8000 = ₹8000 + ₹2000 = ₹10,000. The customer sells the article at a price 20% more than the price at which he bought it. Selling price of the customer = ₹10,000 + 20% of ₹10,000 = ₹10,000 + ₹2000 = ₹12,000. So, the final selling price is ₹12,000. Correct option: b
