Options

B. Rs 1,344
C. Rs 1,212
D. Rs 1,188

Answer

To find the selling price of an article given its marked price and discount percentage, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the given values
- Marked Price (MP) = Rs 1200
- Discount Percentage (D) = 12%

### Step 2: Calculate the discount amount
To find the discount amount, we use the formula:
\[ \text{Discount Amount} = \left( \frac{D}{100} \right) \times \text{MP} \]
Substituting the values:
\[ \text{Discount Amount} = \left( \frac{12}{100} \right) \times 1200 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Discount Amount} = 0.12 \times 1200 = 144 \]

### Step 3: Calculate the Selling Price
The selling price (SP) can be calculated using the formula:
\[ \text{Selling Price} = \text{MP} - \text{Discount Amount} \]
Substituting the values:
\[ \text{Selling Price} = 1200 - 144 \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Selling Price} = 1056 \]

### Final Answer
The selling price of the article is Rs 1056.
