Question:

Trader A gives a single discount of 25% and Trader B gives two successive discounts of 20% and 5% on an identical item. If the discount given by A is ₹320 more than the discount given by B, then what is the marked price (in ₹) of the item?

Options:

3200

32000

30000

25000

Correct Answer:

32000

Explanation:

 Trader A gave 25% discount

Trader B gave two successive discount of 20% & 5% which is equal to 20 + 5 - \(\frac{20 × 5}{100}\)= 24%

According to the questions,

This difference of (25 - 24)% = 1%

1% = Rs. 320.

So, 100% = Rs. 32000

The original marked price of the article is Rs. 32000.
