  1. A shopkeeper allows a discount of 4% on his article. If cost price of the article is ₹ 100 and he wants to get a profit of 20%. Then, its marked price will be
    1. ₹ 96
    2. ₹ 120
    3. ₹ 125
    4. ₹ 130
Correct Option: C

∵ Cost price of article = ₹ 100
∴ Selling price of the article for 20% profit
= 100 x (100 + 20)/100 = ₹ 120
Hence, marked price of the article for 4% discount
= 120 x 100/(100 - 4)
= 120 x 100/96
= ₹ 125
