C Correct answer
Explanation

Let marked price of A be x. Price of A after 25% discount is 0.75x. Price of B after 40% discount is 0.6 * 35000 = 21000. Given 21000 - 0.75x = 2250, so 0.75x = 18750, which gives x = 25000.

AI explanation

Brand B has a marked price of Rs. 35000, and after a 40 percent discount its price is 35000 * 0.60 = Rs. 21000. The discounted price of brand A is Rs. 2250 less than brand B, making it 21000 - 2250 = Rs. 18750. Since brand A has a 25 percent discount, it is sold at 75 percent of its marked price, so 0.75 * MP = 18750. Solving this gives the marked price of A as Rs. 25000.
