  1. Rahim bought a T.V. with 20% discount on list price. Had he bought it with 25% discount he would have saved ₹ 500. At what price did he buy the T.V?
    1. ₹ 16,000
    2. ₹ 12,000
    3. ₹ 10,000
    4. ₹ 8,000
Correct Option: D

Here , discount = 20% , saved money = ₹ 500 , discount = 25% ,
If the marked price of T.V. be y, then,
According to question,
∴ ( 25 - 20 )% of y = ₹ 500
⇒ 5% of y = ₹ 500

y × 5
= 500
100

⇒  y =
500 × 100
= ₹ 10000
5

∴  Initial S.P. of T.V. =
10000 × 80
= ₹ 8000
100
