Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Let the marked price be Rs. x. Then, selling price after discount of 5% $ =x-\frac{5x}{100}=\frac{19x}{20} $ Selling price after discount of 6% $ =x-\frac{6x}{100}=\frac{47x}{50} $ According to the question, $ \frac{19x}{20}-\frac{47x}{50}=15 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ \frac{95x-94x}{100}=15 $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ x=1500 $
