      B Rs.1,560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs.1,250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs.2,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let, the cost price of the air conditioner = Rs. 100x The marked price of the air conditioner = 100x × 125/100 = Rs. 125x The selling price of the air conditioner = Rs. (125x − 200) CP + P = SP CP − P = 1400 P = CP − 1400 So, 100x + 100x − 1400 = 125x − 200 200x − 1400 = 125x − 200 200x − 125x = −200 + 1400 75x = 1200 x = 16 The marked price of the air conditioner = 125 × 16 = Rs. 2000
