Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 3 : Quantity 1 < Quantity 2

Given:

Discount = 25%

Tax = 20%

Calculations:

Let the marked price of the article = 100x

⇒ discounted price after 25% discount on the marked price = (100 – 25) % of 100x

⇒ 75% of 100x = 75x 

The selling price after adding 20% sales tax on the discounted price = (100 + 20)% of 75x

⇒ 120% of 75x = 90x

Quantity I:

90x = 8100

⇒ x = 90 

⇒ The marked price of the article = 100x = 100 × 90 = Rs. 9000 

Quantity II: 15000

Quantity I < Quantity II
