Question:

Marked price of an article is ₹1500. If $16\frac{2}{3}\%$ discount is given, then what is the selling price?

Options:

₹1000

₹1300

₹1250

₹1150

Correct Answer:

₹1250

Explanation:

$16\frac{2}{3}\%$ = \(\frac{1}{6}\) =  \(\frac{Discount}{MP}\)

If 6x = 1500

then x = 250

SP = 6x - x = 5x

SP = 5x = 5 × 250 = 1250
