Correct answer: (A) 12,172
Let CP=x. List price = 1.36x, SP after 25% discount = 1.36x x 0.75 = 1.02x. Profit = 0.02x = 179, so x=8950 and the list price = 1.36 x 8950 = Rs.12172.

सही उत्तर: (A) 12,172
मान लें लागत मूल्य = x। सूची मूल्य = 1.36x, 25% छूट के बाद विक्रय मूल्य = 1.36x×0.75 = 1.02x। लाभ = 0.02x = 179, अतः x=8950 और सूची मूल्य = 1.36×8950 = ₹12172।
