    A Rs.641 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.467 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.315 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost price of the book be Rs. ‘3x’ and the marked price be Rs. ‘7x’.

    ATQ;

    Selling price of the book = 7x × 0.75 = Rs. ‘5.25x’

    Profit = 5.25x – 3x = Rs. ‘2.25x’

    So, 2.25x = 150

    Or, x = 66.67

    So, marked price of the book = 7 × 66.67 = Rs. 467
