Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ₹205.20.

Marked price of the table = Rs. 300

Successive discounts - 20% and 10%

Additional discount on cash payment = 5%

Cash price of the table = 300 ×(100−20)100×(100−10)100×(100−5)100\times \frac{(100-20)}{100}\times \frac{(100-10)}{100}\times \frac{(100-5)}{100} = 300 × 0.8 × 0.9 × 0.95 = 205.20
