Let the Marked price be be a
Cost price = Marked price - Discount
=> CP = a - 40% of a
=> CP = a - 4a/10
=> CP = 6a / 10
Now,
According to question,
Discount = 840
=> 40a/100 = 840
=> 4a/10 = 840
=> a = 8400 / 4
=> a = 2100
Total price of A. C. = Rs 2100
Price paid to dealer = Rs 2100 - 4× 2100 /10
= Rs 2100 - 840
= Rs 1260
Cost price = Marked price - Discount
=> CP = a - 40% of a
=> CP = a - 4a/10
=> CP = 6a / 10
Now,
According to question,
Discount = 840
=> 40a/100 = 840
=> 4a/10 = 840
=> a = 8400 / 4
=> a = 2100
Total price of A. C. = Rs 2100
Price paid to dealer = Rs 2100 - 4× 2100 /10
= Rs 2100 - 840
= Rs 1260
but the answer is 24000 and how it is?

if question is correct, then the answer must be Rs 2100
