Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. ₹9.
Single discount of 25% on ₹600 = 600 × 0.75 = ₹450 → discount = ₹150
Successive discounts of 10% and 15%:
First: 600 × 0.9 = 540
Second: 540 × 0.85 = ₹459 → discount = 600 - 459 = ₹141
Difference = 150 - 141 = ₹9
