Question

After successive discounts of 12% and 5% an article was sold for ₹ 209. What was the original price of the article?

विकल्प

• ₹ 226

• ₹ 250

• ₹ 252

• ₹ 269

Answer 1

₹ 250

Explanation:

Let the original price be ₹ x.

Then, 95% of 88% of x = 209 

⇒ x = `((209 xx 100 xx 100)/(95 xx 88))` = 250.
