    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the cost price of the jacket be Rs. '100x'. Therefore, the marked price of the jacket = '100x' × 1.5 = Rs. '150x'. ATQ: '150x' × 0.7 = 525 Or, '105x' = 525 Or, 'x' = 525 ÷ 105 = 5 Therefore, the cost price of the jacket = 100x = 100 × 5 = Rs. 500.
