Correct Answer: 1,950
Solution :
Given: After giving a discount of 18%, a book is sold for Rs. 1,599.
Let the Marked Price be 100 units.
So, after an 18% discount the Selling Price = (100 – 18) = 82 units
Here, 82 units are equivalent to Rs. 1,599.
So, 100 units is equivalent to ($\frac{1599×100}{82}$) = Rs. 1,950
Hence, the correct answer is 1,950.
