Question:

A shopkeeper offers 25% discount on all table lamps. He offers a further discount of 8% on the reduced price to those customers who pay cash. What does a customer have to pay in cash for a table lamp of ₹2,500?

Options:

₹1,725

₹1,865

₹2,220

₹1,780

Correct Answer:

₹1,725

Explanation:

Initial price of table lamp = 2500

According to question ,

New price = 2500 × \(\frac{75}{100}\) × \(\frac{92}{100}\)

= 2500 × \(\frac{3}{4}\) × \(\frac{23}{25}\) 

= 1725

So , Amount to be paid is 1725.
