What is the difference between a discount of 35% and two successive discounts of 30% and 5% on a bill on ₹10,00,000?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Total amount = 10,00,000
Single disount = 35%
other two successive discounts x and y = 30% and 5%
so,
In this type of questions when the sum of both the discounts that are given successively and single is same then the difference between them is always = \(\frac{x × y}{100}\)
Difference = \(\frac{30 × 5}{100}\) = 1.5%
Difference = 1.5% of 10,00,000 = ₹15,000
