A Correct answer
Explanation

Let marked price = 100. After 12.5% discount: 100 × 0.875 = 87.5. After 16.67% (1/6) discount: 87.5 × 5/6 = 72.92. If 72.92 corresponds to 729.20, then marked price = 729.20 ÷ 0.7292 = 1000. Verification: 1000 × 7/8 × 5/6 = 1000 × 35/48 = 729.17 ≈ 729.20. Option A is correct.
