Rs.21,100
Incorrect AnswerRs.18,900
Incorrect AnswerRs.19,200
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Elizabeth buys a study table with a 20% discount.
- With a 25% discount, she would have saved Rs.1,000 more.
- The difference due to this 5% additional discount translates to Rs.1,000.
- If 5% of the marked price equals Rs.1,000, then:
- 1% of the marked price is Rs.200.
- 100% of the marked price, therefore, is Rs.20,000.
- Option 2, Rs.20,000, is the correct marked price.
Based on the explanation:
Option 2: Rs.20,000
