AI explanation

Statement A provides the discount rate and the final selling price, so using the formula Marked Price equals Selling Price divided by (1 minus Discount Rate), we get 170 divided by 0.85, which equals 200. Statement B relates the marked price to the cost price, but provides no actual numerical value for either, making it impossible to find the marked price. Since the question can be answered using statement A alone but not statement B alone, it can be solved using any one of the statements.
