Question:

The printed price of a TV set is ₹ 14,500. It is sold for ₹ 10,000 with two consecutive discounts. If the first discount is 10 %, then what is the second discount?

Options:

23.37 %

25.37 %

20.37 %

27.37 %

Correct Answer:

23.37 %

Explanation:

MP of the article = 14500

First discount = 10%

second discount = x%

Selling price = 10000

ATQ = 14500 ×  \(\frac{9}{10}\) × \(\frac{x}{100}\) = 10000

x  = \(\frac{10000}{13500}\) × 100 = 25.37 %
