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.
