A shopkeeper wants to give a discount of 15% on a marked price and still collect ₹2040. What should be the marked price?
एक दुकानदार अंकित मूल्य (Marked price) पर 15% की छूट (Discount) देकर भी ₹2040 प्राप्त करना चाहता है। अंकित मूल्य कितना होना चाहिए?
Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (C) ₹2400
15% छूट (Discount) के बाद SP = MP का 85% = 2040
⇒ MP = 2040 × 10085 = ₹2400
✓
अंकित मूल्य (Marked price) ₹2400 होना चाहिए।
After 15% discount, SP = 85% of MP = 2040
⇒ MP = 2040 × 10085 = ₹2400
✓
The marked price should be ₹2400.
SMART APPROACH
MP : SP = 20 : 17। 17 भाग = 2040 ⇒ 1 भाग = 120 ⇒ MP = ₹2400।
MP : SP = 20 : 17. 17 parts = 2040 ⇒ 1 part = 120 ⇒ MP = ₹2400.
