    B Rs.2100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.1200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.2750 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the cost price, selling price and marked price be Rs. 5x, Rs. 7x and Rs. 11x respectively

    According to the question,

    Profit earned = 7x – 5x = Rs. 2x

    Therefore, 2x = 600

    Or, x = 300

    Therefore, discount offered = 11x – 7x = 4x = 4 × 300 = Rs. 1200
