💡 Analysis & Explanation
Primary Depreciation Phase ▼
The baseline monetary value of the set is strictly given as 8,000. We first apply the mandated 12% reduction. Calculating the decrease: 12% of 8000 is (12 / 100) * 8000 = 960. The intermediate adjusted price drops to 8000 - 960 = ₹7,040.
Secondary Appreciation Phase ▼
A 25% incremental raise is now applied directly to this new intermediate price, not the original. Calculating the increase: 25% of 7040 is exactly one-fourth of the value, which is 7040 / 4 = 1760.
Final Valuation ▼
We add this calculated markup back to the intermediate base. Thus, 7040 + 1760 = 8800.
Conclusion ▼
The final revised retail price comes out to be exactly ₹8,800.
