    A 25 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 30 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 24 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Marked price of the fan = Rs. 2400 x (5/3) = Rs. 4000

    ATQ, Or, 4000 x (7/8) x {(100 - x) /100} = 2625

    Or, 35 x (100 - x) = 2625

    Or, (100 - x) = 75

    So, 'x' = 25
