Rs 752

- The shopkeeper sets a marked price that allows a 25% discount while ensuring a 20% gain on the cost price.

- The cost price (CP) of the article is Rs 460.

- To calculate the selling price (SP) that includes a 20% gain:

- SP = CP + 20% of CP

- SP = 460 + (20/100) × 460

- SP = 460 + 92 = Rs 552.

- To find the marked price (MP):

- SP is 75% (100% - 25% discount) of MP

- 552 = 75% of MP

- MP = 552 ÷ 0.75

- MP = Rs 736.

- The correct option is: Option 1: Rs 736
