Question:

An article was sold for ₹98,496 after providing three successive discounts of 10%, 5% and 4% respectively on the marked price. What was the marked price?

Options:

₹1,20,000

₹1,10,700

₹1,20,200

₹1,20,500

Correct Answer:

₹1,20,000

Explanation:

According to the question,

Selling price = 98,496 

Discounts = 10%, 5%, 4%

98496 = MRP × \(\frac{9}{10}\) × \(\frac{19}{20}\) × \(\frac{24}{25}\) 

MRP = ₹1,20,000
