(B) Let the marked price be $MP$.Given that a discount of $Rs. 42$ is allowed,the selling price $(SP)$ is $SP = MP - 42$.It is also given that the new reduced price is $86 \%$ of the marked price,so $SP = 0.86 \times MP$.Equating the two expressions for $SP$:$MP - 42 = 0.86 \times MP$$MP - 0.86 \times MP = 42$$0.14 \times MP = 42$$MP = \frac{42}{0.14} = \frac{4200}{14} = 300$.Thus,the marked price is $Rs. 300$.
