Question

A pair of articles was bought for Rs. 1,820 at a discount of 20%, and marked price of each article is same. What is the marked price (in Rs.) of an article?

A.

Rs. 1,137.50

B.

Rs. 1,371.50

C.

Rs. 1,173.50

D.

Rs. 1,731.50

Correct option is A

Given:
Cost Price of a pair of articles = ₹1,820
Discount = 20%
Marked Price of each article is the same.
Formula Used:
Marked Price=Cost Price1Discount%100Total Marked Price=2×Marked Price of one article\text{Marked Price} = \dfrac{\text{Cost Price}}{1 - \dfrac{\text{Discount}\%}{100}}\\\text{Total Marked Price} = 2 \times \text{Marked Price of one article}​​
Solution:
Total Marked Price =1820120100 \dfrac{1820}{1 - \dfrac{20}{100}} \\​​

Total Marked Price = 182010.2\dfrac{1820}{1 - 0.2} \\

Total Marked Price = 18200.8=2275 \dfrac{1820}{0.8} = 2275 \\​​
Marked Price of one article = 2,2752\frac{₹2,275} 2 ​= ₹1,137.50
The marked price of an article is ₹1,137.50.
