Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Answer: The labeled price is Rs. 800.
Explanation:
Key relation: Selling price = Labeled price × (1 − Discount) = Labeled price × 0.6.
Rearrange to find labeled price: Labeled price = Selling price ÷ 0.6 = 480 ÷ 0.6 = 800.
Conclusion: The correct labeled price is Rs. 800.
Note: None of the provided options equals Rs. 800. The option showing Rs. 799 is the closest but is not correct. The options should be corrected to include Rs. 800 as the correct choice.
