Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Rs. 176.
Single discount = 30%
Successive discounts = 22% and 8%
Single discount of successive discount = - 22 - 8 + 176/100 = -30 + 1.76 = 28.24
Bill amount after 30% discount = Rs.10000 × 70/100 = Rs.7000
Bill amount after 28.24% discount = Rs.10000 × 71.76/100 = Rs.7176
Difference = Rs.7000 - Rs.7176 = Rs.176
