Correct Answer: (1)

Solution: (1)

Marked price of bike $=$ Rs. $x$

According to the question,

$x \times \frac{80}{100} \times \frac{90}{100} \times \frac{120}{100}=129600$

$\Rightarrow x \times \frac{8}{10} \times \frac{9}{10} \times \frac{12}{10}=129600$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{129600 \times 1000}{8 \times 9 \times 12}$ $=$ Rs. 150000
