    B Rs.1,560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.1,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let, the cost price of the chair = Rs. 100x The marked price of the chair = 100x × 130/100 = Rs. 130x The selling price of the chair = Rs. (130x − 180) CP + P = SP CP − P = 1020 P = CP − 1020 So, 100x + 100x − 1020 = 130x − 180 200x − 1020 = 130x − 180 200x − 130x = −180 + 1020 70x = 840 x = 12 The marked price of the chair = 130 × 12 = Rs. 1560
