124

Correct Answer:

116

Explanation:

              C.P.               S.P. (@+17%)             M.R.P.(@+33%)

              100                      117                           133

                                             ↓  16 (Difference)__ ↓   = x

               100 Units ⇒ 725

                 1 Unit ⇒ \(\frac{725}{100}\) ⇒ \(\frac{29}{4}\) 

                16 Units ⇒16 × \(\frac{29}{4}\)  ⇒ 116 = x
