C Correct answer
Explanation

SP = MP * (1 - discount/100). 546 = MP * (1 - 0.16) = MP * 0.84. MP = 546 / 0.84 = 650.

AI explanation

Using the formula Marked Price = (Selling Price * 100) / (100 - Discount Percentage), we can substitute the known values. The selling price is Rs 546 and the discount is 16%. The marked price calculates to (546 * 100) / 84. Dividing 54600 by 84 results in the marked price of Rs 650.
