Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : Rs. 512

Given - 

Marked price = Rs. 800, Profit = 25%, Discount = 20%

Formula used - 

(cost price/marked price) = (100 - Discount)/(100 + profit)

Solution - 

Let the cost price be Rs. x.

⇒ (x/800) = (80/125)

⇒ x = (800 × 80)/125

⇒ x = Rs. 512

∴ cost price of the article is Rs. 512
