C Correct answer
Explanation

Marked Price * (1 - 0.18) = 1599. Marked Price * 0.82 = 1599. Marked Price = 1599 / 0.82 = 1950.

AI explanation

If an 18% discount is given, the selling price represents 82% of the marked price. Setting up the equation 0.82 * Marked Price = 1599, we divide 1599 by 0.82 to find the marked price. The marked price of the book is Rs. 1950.
