- A₹ 540
- B₹ 490
- C₹ 630
- D₹ 700

The savings from the 30% discount on the shirt equal the cost of the tie, which is ₹ 210:
30% of M=210
100
30
×M=210
M=

210×100
=700
So, the marked price of the shirt is ₹ 700.
The amount paid by the man for the shirt (Selling Price) is:
Selling Price=M−Discount=700−210=₹ 490
The savings from the 30% discount on the shirt equal the cost of the tie, which is ₹ 210:
30% of M=210
100
