A Correct answer
Explanation

The selling price is calculated by subtracting the discount from the marked price. Discount = 5% of 140 = 0.05 * 140 = 7. Selling price = 140 - 7 = 133.

AI explanation

The selling price is found by applying the discount percentage to the marked price using the formula Selling Price equals Marked Price times 0.95. So, the selling price is 140 times 0.95, which equals Rs. 133.
