Answer: (3)
Solution: (3)
Marked price of cycle A = Rs. $x$ (let).
$\therefore x \times \frac{80}{100} \times \frac{90}{100}=1620$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1620 \times 100}{8 \times 9}=$ Rs. 2250
$\therefore$ Marked price of cycle B $=$ Rs. $(2250-500)$ $=$ Rs. 1750
$\Rightarrow$ S.P. of cycle B $=\frac{1750 \times 80}{100}=$ Rs. 1400
