A Correct answer
Explanation

Marked Price * (1 - 0.10) = 248.50. Marked Price = 248.50 / 0.9 = 276.11.

AI explanation

Using the marked price formula, Marked Price = (Selling Price * 100) / (100 - Discount%), we substitute the given values to get (248.50 * 100) / (100 - 10). Simplifying the calculation 24850 / 90 yields the marked price of Rs. 276.11.
