    C Rs.6000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.4500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs.5000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the MRP of the refrigerator be 9y Discount = 20% of 9y = 1.8y Anita bought this refrigerator for 9y – 1.8y = 7.2y She earns 7.2y/3 = 2.4y by renting it and resells it at 9y x 2/3 = 6y ATQ, Or, 6y + 2.4y — 7.2y = 600 Or, 1.2y = 600 Or, y = 500 Therefore, MRP = 9y = 9 x 500 = Rs.4500
