Answer 1

Hii dear,

● Answer - 680 Rs.

◆ Explanation-
Presently,
Listing price = 800 Rs.

Now, the seller is selling article with at 25% and 15% discount.
Selling price = 800 × (100-25)/100 × (100-15)/100
Selling price = 510 Rs.

To get 20% profit seller should sell article at-
Selling price = 510 × 120/100
Selling price = 612 Rs.

To allow 10% discount listing price will be-
Listing price = 612 × 100/90
Listing price = 680 Rs.

Seller should sell article at Rs. 680.

That is all...
