C Correct answer
Explanation

SP = 660, Profit = 10%. CP = 660 / 1.1 = 600. Marked Price (MP) - 25% discount = 600. 0.75 * MP = 600. MP = 600 / 0.75 = 800.

AI explanation

Let the cost price be x. A 10% profit on the cost price gives the equation 1.10x = 660, so the cost price x is 600. Kabir buys the article with a 25% discount on the marked price, meaning 600 is 75% of the marked price. Therefore, the marked price is 600 / 0.75, which equals Rs. 800.
