B Correct answer
Explanation

Total price after 15% discount is 37.40. Marked price MP = 37.40 / 0.85 = 44. Since there are two balls, MP of each ball = 44 / 2 = 22.

AI explanation

The total marked price for both balls is found by dividing the total purchase price by (1 minus the discount percentage divided by 100). So, 37.40 divided by 0.85 equals 44. Since this is the combined marked price for two balls, the marked price of each ball is 44 divided by 2, which equals 22. The marked price of each ball is Rs. 22.
