    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Given, Discount = Rs. 2500, Cost price = Rs. 2000

    Also, Profit = 2500 + 1000 = Rs. 3500

    Selling price = 2000 + 3500 = Rs. 5500

    Marked price = 5500 + 2500 = Rs. 8000

    So, required percentage = {(8000 - 2000) /2000} Ă— 100 = 300%
