    D None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Given, Discount = Rs. 900, Cost price = Rs. 800

    Also, profit earned = 900 + 300 = Rs. 1200

    Selling price = 800 + 1200 = Rs. 2000

    So, Marked price = 2000 + 900 = Rs. 2900

    So, required percentage = {(2900 - 800) /800} ├Ч 100 = 262.5%
