SSC MTS 12th July 2022 Shift-2

- You have a packet with 'x' pens, each pen has a marked price of 'Rsx'.

- Total marked price for 'x' pens is x * Rsx = Rsx^2.

- After a 15% discount, the selling price is 85% of the marked price.

- Therefore, 0.85 * Rsx^2 = Rs1,360.

- Simplifying gives Rsx^2 = Rs1,600.

- Solving x^2 = 1,600 results in x = 40.

The correct answer is Option: 2 - 40.
