Correct Answer: Rs. 375.00
Solution : Let $x$ be the marked price. Discount = 15%, the selling price = $\frac{100-D_1}{100}\times \text{MP}$, where D1 is discount percentage and MP is the marked price. Selling Price = 85% of $x$ ⇒ 318.75 = $\frac{85 × x}{100}$ ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{318.75 × 100}{85}$ ⇒ $x$ = $\frac{31875}{85}$ ⇒ $x$ = Rs. 375 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 375.00.
