Elementary MathematicsProfit and Loss
- A₹ 6,300
- B₹ 6,400
- C₹ 6,500
- D₹ 6,600
Explanation
This is a discount-reversal problem. ₹4,875 is the price after a 25% discount, i.e. 75% of the selling price. So SP = 4875/0.75 = ₹6,500. The trap is computing 25% of 4875 and adding it (giving ₹6,094); the discount is 25% of the unknown original price, not of the price paid. Hence option (c).
