SSC Selection Post - Higher Secondary Level - 25th July 2025 - Shift 2 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q33

A shopkeeper lists a jacket for ₹2000. He offers a discount of 15% on the list price. What additional discount (on the reduced price) must he offer to bring the final price down to ₹1360?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

List price = ₹2000

First discount = 15%

Reduced price = 2000 − 15% of 2000

= 2000 – 300 = ₹1700

Additional discount = 1700 − 1360 = ₹340

Discount % = (340 / 1700) × 100 = 20%
