The marked price of an article is ₹100. If the article is sold at a discount of 25%, then the selling price of the article is:
₹80
₹70
₹75
₹125
₹75
Since the base is ₹100, a discount of 25% is simply 25 units. The selling price is then 100−25=75.
Marked price (MP) = ₹100, Discount percentage = 25%
SP=MP×(1−100Discount%)
Since the base is ₹100, a discount of 25% is simply 25 units. The selling price is then 100−25=75.
Confusing 'discount amount' with 'selling price'. The discount amount is ₹25, but the question asks for the selling price.

The marked price MP=₹100 and the discount percentage is 25%.
MP=100,Discount=25%
Calculate the discount amount
Calculate the monetary value of the discount by taking 25% of 100.
Discount Amount=100×10025=25
Calculate the selling price
Subtract the discount amount from the marked price to find the selling price SP.
SP=100−25=75
C is correct because the selling price after a 25% discount on ₹100 is ₹75.
This concept is fundamental for Profit and Loss problems. Always remember: SP=MP−Discount and Discount=MP×(Rate/100).
