Correct answer: (D) 69.5%
Let marked price be M. SP_X = M x 0.16 x 0.75 = 0.12M; profit = 0.12M - 1300 = 734 gives M = Rs.16950. SP_Y = M x 0.13 = Rs.2203.5; profit% = (2203.5-1300)/1300 x 100 = 69.5%.

सही उत्तर: (D) 69.5%
मान लें अंकित मूल्य M है। SP_X = M×0.16×0.75 = 0.12M; लाभ = 0.12M−1300 = 734 से M = ₹16950। SP_Y = M×0.13 = ₹2203.5; लाभ% = (2203.5−1300)/1300×100 = 69.5%।
