CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Extra discount = 20%−12%=8%20\% - 12\% = 8\% of MP.

  2. 8% of MP = ₹144.

  3. MP = 1448×100=1800\frac{144}{8} \times 100 = 1800, that is ₹1,800.

Worth noting

₹1,200 treats ₹144 as 12% of MP. ₹720 treats it as 20%. Only the 8-point increase matches the ₹144.
