Solution

Sure, here is the step by step solution:

Step 1: Calculate the price after profit. Karan wants to make a 25% profit on the cost price of Rs. 1200. So, the price after profit would be 1200 + 25% of 1200 = Rs. 1500.

Step 2: Calculate the marked price. The price after profit is the price after giving a 20% discount. So, if 1500 is 80% (100% - 20%) of the marked price, then the marked price would be 1500 / 80 * 100 = Rs. 1875.

So, Karan should mark the sewing machine at Rs. 1875 to make a 25% profit even after offering a 20% discount.
