A.

Rs. 3800

B.

Rs. 3500

C.

Rs. 4000

D.

Rs. 3600

Correct option is A

Given:
Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 2546
Discount = 33%
Formula Used:
SP=MP(1Discount100)MP=SP1Discount100SP = MP \cdot \left(1 - \frac{\text{Discount}}{100}\right)\\MP = \frac{SP}{1 - \frac{\text{Discount}}{100}}​​
Solution:
Marked Price (MP)=SP1Discount100MP=2546133100MP=25460.67MP=3800\text{Marked Price (MP)} = \frac{\text{SP}}{1 - \frac{\text{Discount}}{100}} \\\text{MP} = \frac{2546}{1 - \frac{33}{100}} \\\text{MP} = \frac{2546}{0.67} \\\text{MP} = 3800​​
Thus, the marked price of the article is Rs. 3800.
