C Correct answer
Explanation

Let the marked price be x. After a 15% discount, the selling price is 0.85x. Setting 0.85x = 2176, we get x = 2176 / 0.85 = 2560.

AI explanation

The selling price is calculated as Marked Price * ((100 - Discount%) / 100). Substituting the known values gives 2176 = Marked Price * 0.85. Solving for the marked price yields 2176 / 0.85, which equals Rs. 2560.
