Rs340

Rs330

Rs350

Rs360

Here’s the thing—let’s break it down:

- The marked price is Rs 500.

- A 15% discount means the selling price is 85% of Rs 500, so that’s Rs 425.

- Anil still manages to make a 25% profit at this price.

- That means Rs 425 is 125% of the actual cost (let’s call it C).

So,

425 = 1.25 × C

C = 425 / 1.25 = Rs 340

- Option 1: Rs 340 This checks out—this is the correct answer.

- Option 2: Rs 330 (too low, doesn’t fit the math)

- Option 3: Rs 350 (too high)

- Option 4: Rs 360 (doesn’t fit either)
