Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the cost price of bag is = 100 units
∴ Marked price of the bag = 150 units
Selling price of the bag :
$$\eqalign{ & 150 \times \frac{{80}}{{100}} = 120{\text{ units}} \cr & {\text{120 units = Rs. 840}} \cr & {\text{1 units = 7}} \cr & {\text{100 units = Rs. 700}} \cr} $$
