SSC CGL 2022 PYQ — Question 62

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 15%

Given:

M.P. = ₹2,750

S.P. = ₹2,103.75

D₁ = 10%

Concept Used:

S.P. = $M.P. \times {(100 - D_1) \over 100} \times {(100 - D_2) \over 100}$  ...(i)

Explanation:

Let the second discount be D₂

Putting the givan values in equation (i), we get

2,103.75 = $2,750 \times {(100 - 10) \over 100} \times {(100 - D_2) \over 100}$

⇒ ${2103.75 \over 2750} = {90 \over 100} \times {(100 - D_2) \over 100}$

⇒ $(100 - D_2)\over 100$ = 0.85

⇒ 100 - D₂ = 85

⇒ D₂ = 15

Hence the value of second discount is 15%.
