Correct Answer :

Option C

1744.44

Solution :

The correct option is 1744.44.

Let us break down the problem step-by-step to find the tag price (marked price) of the item.

Step 1: Understand the given information
- Cost Price (CP) = ₹1,200
- Profit percentage earned = 10%
- Discount offered on the tag price = 10%
- Cashback offered = ₹250
- Let the tag price (marked price) be denoted as T.

Step 2: Calculate the Selling Price (SP) from the Cost Price and Profit
The seller makes a 10% profit on the cost price.
Selling Price can be calculated using the formula:
SP = CP × 1 + Profit % 100
Substituting the given values:
SP = 1200 × 1 + 10 100
SP = 1200 × 1.1 = 1320
So, the actual Selling Price is ₹1,320.

Step 3: Relate the Selling Price to the Tag Price, Discount, and Cashback
The seller offers a 10% discount on the tag price (T) and then also gives a cashback of ₹250. The amount the customer finally pays (which is the selling price, SP) is given by:
SP = T - 10 % of T - Cashback
Substituting the values we know:
1320 = T - 0.10 T - 250
Simplify the equation:
1320 = 0.90 T - 250

Step 4: Solve for the Tag Price (T)
Add 250 to both sides of the equation:
1320 + 250 = 0.90 T
1570 = 0.90 T
Now, divide by 0.90:
T = 1570 0.90
T = 15700 9
Calculating the division:
T 1744.4444...
Rounding off to two decimal places, we get:
T = 1744.44

Therefore, the tag price is ₹1,744.44.
