    D Rs.750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost price, selling price and marked price be Rs. 4x, Rs. 6x and Rs. 10x respectively

    According to the question,

    Profit earned = 6x тАУ 4x = Rs. 2x

    Therefore, 2x = 400

    Or, x = 200

    Therefore, discount offered = 10x тАУ 6x = 4x = 4 ├Ч 200 = Rs. 800
