    B 580% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 350% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 450% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Given, Discount = Rs. 1200, Cost price = Rs. 800

    Also, Profit = 1200 + 400 = Rs. 1600

    Selling price = 800 + 1600 = Rs. 2400

    Marked price = 2400 + 1200 = Rs. 3600

    So, required percentage = {(3600 - 800) /800} × 100 = 350%
