D Correct answer
Explanation

Work backwards from selling price. Let marked price = M. After 10% discount: 0.90M. After additional 6% discount on this amount: 0.90M × 0.94 = 0.846M. This equals Rs. 846. So M = 846/0.846 = 1000. Common mistake: applying discounts as 10% + 6% = 16% directly, which would give 846/0.84 ≈ 1007, wrong.
