    B Rs.1000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.1500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the selling price, cost price and marked price be Rs. 9x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 12x respectively

    According to the question,

    Profit earned = 9x – 6x = Rs. 3x

    Therefore, 3x = 1500

    Or, x = 500

    Therefore, discount offered = 12x – 9x = 3x = 3 × 500 = Rs. 1500
