Correct Answer: 748
Solution : An article was sold = INR 716 Discount = 10.5% Let the marked price be $x$. Selling Price = $\text{Marked Price}×\frac{(100 - \text{Discount%})}{100}$ ⇒ $716 = x×\frac{(100-10.5)}{100}$ ⇒ $716 = x×\frac{89.5}{100}$ ⇒ $x = \frac{716\times100}{89.5}$ $\therefore x =$ INR 800 At a discount of 6.5%, Selling Price = $\text{Marked Price}×\frac{(100 - \text{Discount%})}{100}=800×\frac{(100-6.5)}{100}=800×\frac{93.5}{100}=748$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 748.
