Correct Answer: INR 67,200
Solution : Let the marked price be $x$. Selling price after 25% discount = $x$ – 25% of $x$ = $\frac{3x}{4}$ According to the question, $x-\frac{3x}{4}$ = 22400 ⇒ $\frac{x}{4}$ = 22400 ⇒ $x$ = 89,600 Now, the price paid by Lakshita = $\frac{3x}{4}=\frac{3}{4}×89600$ = INR 67,200 Hence, the correct answer is INR 67,200.
