A. Rs. 200
B. Rs. 220
C. Rs. 240
D. Rs. 250
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Equivalent Discount, =(A + B) - $$ {\frac{{{\text{AB}}}}{{100}}} $$ = (10 + 5) - $$ {\frac{{10 \times 5}}{{100}}} $$ = 14.5% Let MP = X Now, X - 14.5% of X = 171(Selling Price) 0.855X = 171 X = 200 Hence, MP = Rs. 200 Going through options, 200(MP) == 10%(disc.) ⇒ 180 == 5%(disc.) ⇒ 171(CP)This Question Belongs to Arithmetic Ability >> Profit And Loss

(0.90)*(.95)*X = 171
X = 200
Applying successive discount :
-10-5+(10*5)/100 = - 14.5% (-ve means dis.)
ATQ, 85.5% ≡ 171
Then, 100% ≡ (171*100)/85.5 = 200
