    A Rs 500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs 200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let repair cost = Rs. x
    Effective cost = 2600 + x
    Marked Price = 1.25(2600 + x)
    Selling Price = Marked – 300 = 1.15(2600 + x)
    1.25(2600 + x) – 1.15(2600 + x) = 300
    0.10(2600 + x) = 300
    2600 + x = 3000
    x = Rs. 400
