    An item with a marked price of Rs. 2500 is sold for Rs.

    A 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    2500 × (100 – x)% × (100 – x)% = 1600

    0.25 × (100 – x)² = 1600

    (100 – x)² = 6400

    100 – x = 80

    x = 20

    So, the value of ‘x’ is 20%
