B Correct answer
Explanation

Let the marked price be M. A 25% discount means the selling price is 75% of M. So, 0.75 * M = 240. M = 240 / 0.75 = 24000 / 75 = 320.

AI explanation

Using the formula for selling price, Selling Price = Marked Price x (100 - Discount)/100. Let the marked price be x. We are given 240 = x x (100 - 25)/100, which simplifies to 240 = x x 0.75. Solving for x gives x = 240 / 0.75, so the marked price is Rs. 320.
