    B ₹512 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C ₹560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹600 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Selling price after a 20% discount = 800 × (1 - 20/100) = ₹800 × 0.8 = ₹640. Cost price = Selling price / (1 + Profit%) = ₹640 / 1.25 = ₹512. Correct option: b
