230

Correct Answer:

231 

Explanation:

              C.P.               S.P. (@+13%)             M.R.P.(@+4%)

              100                      113                           141

                                             ↓  28 (Difference)__ ↓   = x

               100 Units ⇒ 825

                 1 Unit ⇒ \(\frac{825}{100}\) ⇒ \(\frac{33}{4}\) 

                  28 Units ⇒ 28 × \(\frac{33}{4}\)  ⇒ 231 = x
