Question:
If marked price of an article is Rs 1,200 and the discount is 12% then the selling price of the article is
(a) Rs 1,056
(b) Rs 1,344
(c) Rs 1,212
(d) Rs 1,188
Solution:
(a) Given, marked price of an article = Rs. 1200 Discount % = 12%
Discount = Discount % on marked price
= A x 1200=12 x 12 = Rs.144
Selling price = Marked price – Discount Selling price = Rs.11200 – Rs. 144 = Rs.1056 Hence, option (a) is correct.
