The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will denote the Marked Price (M.P.) of the book as \( x \). ### Step 1: Calculate the Cost Price (C.P.) The person bought the book at a 20% discount. Therefore, the Cost Price can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{C.P.} = \text{M.P.} - \text{Discount on M.P.} \] \[ \text{C.P.} = x - 0.20x = 0.80x \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Selling Price (S.P.) The person sold the book at a 10% discount. Therefore, the Selling Price can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{S.P.} = \text{M.P.} - \text{Discount on M.P.} \] \[ \text{S.P.} = x - 0.10x = 0.90x \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Profit According to the problem, the profit made from the transaction is Rs. 10. Profit can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Profit} = \text{S.P.} - \text{C.P.} \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ 10 = 0.90x - 0.80x \] \[ 10 = 0.10x \] ### Step 4: Solve for Marked Price (M.P.) To find the Marked Price, we can rearrange the equation: \[ x = \frac{10}{0.10} \] \[ x = 100 \] ### Conclusion The Marked Price of the book is Rs. 100. ---
