B Correct answer
Explanation

Marked Price * (1 - 0.20) = 1120. Marked Price * 0.8 = 1120. Marked Price = 1120 / 0.8 = 1400.

AI explanation

Let the marked price be M; since a 20% discount was applied, the selling price of Rs. 1120 represents 80% of M. This establishes the equation 0.80M = 1120. Dividing 1120 by 0.80 gives the marked price of Rs. 1400.
