B Correct answer
Explanation

Sale price = Selling Price * (1 - discount%). 5895 = SP * (1 - 0.25) = SP * 0.75. SP = 5895 / 0.75 = 7860.

AI explanation

Using the relationship between cost price and selling price, the sale price represents 75% of the original selling price because there is a 25% discount. To find the original selling price, divide the sale price by 0.75: 5895 / 0.75 = 7860. The result is Rs. 7,860.
