C Correct answer
Explanation

After discounts of 15% and 5%, the selling price is 0.85 × 0.95 = 0.8075 of the marked price. Therefore, the marked price is 2907 / 0.8075 = Rs.3600.

AI explanation

Using the successive discount formula, the selling price equals the marked price multiplied by (1 - 0.15) times (1 - 0.05). This gives 2907 = Marked Price times 0.85 times 0.95, which simplifies to 2907 = Marked Price times 0.8075. Dividing 2907 by 0.8075 gives the marked price of Rs. 3600.
