Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ SP=\frac{(100+20)\times 170}{100}=\frac{120\times 17}{10}=Rs.,204 $ Now, marked price $ -15 $ % of marked price = SP Let marked price be Rs. x. Thus, $ x-\frac{x\times 15}{100}=204 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{85x}{100}=204 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=\frac{204\times 100}{85}=\frac{204\times 20}{17}=12\times 20=240 $

$ \therefore $ Marked price = Rs. 240
