C Correct answer
Explanation

Price after 20% discount = 6400. Marked price = 6400 / 0.8 = 8000. Price per item = 8000 / 20 = 400.

AI explanation

Let the total marked price of the box be X. The items were bought for Rs. 6,400 after a 20% discount, meaning Rs. 6,400 represents 80% of the marked price, so X equals 6400 divided by 0.8, resulting in a total marked price of Rs. 8,000. Since the box contains 20 items, the marked price of each item is 8000 divided by 20. This calculation gives the marked price of each item as Rs. 400.
