Given:

Selling Price (SP) = ₹23,800

Discount = 30%

Cost Price (CP) = 80% of Marked Price (MP)

Formula used:

SP = MP × (1 - Discount/100)

CP = 80% of MP

Calculation:

SP = MP × (1 - Discount/100)

⇒ 23,800 = MP × (1 - 30/100)

⇒ 23,800 = MP × 0.7

⇒ MP = 23,800 ÷ 0.7

⇒ MP = 34,000

CP = 80% of MP

⇒ CP = 80/100 × 34,000

⇒ CP = 0.8 × 34,000

⇒ CP = 27,200

∴ The correct answer is option (4).
