Correct answer: A
Selling Price (SP) after a discount is found by reducing the Marked Price (MP) by the discount percentage: SP = MP × (100 − Discount%) / 100.
Marked Price (MP) = ₹7,650 and Discount = 26%.
Discount amount = 26% of ₹7,650 = (26/100) × 7,650 = ₹1,989.
Selling Price = MP − Discount amount = ₹7,650 − ₹1,989 = ₹5,661.
Cross-check: SP can also be found directly as MP × 0.74 = 7,650 × 0.74 = ₹5,661, which matches the value above.
So the selling price of the hot pot is ₹5,661.
