Answer 1

The selling price of a TV set with a marked price of Rs. 12,500 and a discount of 15% is calculated by subtracting the discount amount from the marked price. The discount amount is Rs. 1,875, and thus, the selling price is Rs. 10,625 (Option A).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the selling price of a TV set that was bought at a discount of 15%, we first calculate the discount amount on the marked price and then subtract it from the marked price.

Calculation:

Marked Price of TV = Rs. 12,500

Discount Given = 15% of Rs. 12,500

Discount Amount = Rs. 12,500 × (15/100) = Rs. 1,875

Selling Price = Marked Price – Discount Amount

Selling Price = Rs. 12,500 – Rs. 1,875 = Rs. 10,625

Therefore, the correct selling price of the TV set is Rs. 10,625, which corresponds to option A.
