    Let the original price be x.

    After a discount of 20%, was effected.

    It means the value was reduced to: (100% - 20%) = 80% of the original value

    80% of x = 100

    (80/100) * x = 100

    8x/10 = 100

    8x = 10*100

    x = (10*100) / 8

    x = 125

    Original price = Rs. 125

    Option C.
