    for Rs. 396. If he plans to make a profit of 48% while offering a discount of 20%, what should be the marked price of the machine?
    A Rs.555 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.725 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.375 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.650 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
