SSC GD 2026 PYQ — Question 59

SSC GD Constable - 4 May 2026 - Shift 3 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q59

Marked price of an article is Rs. 3000. After giving two successive discounts of 10 percent and A percent, the article is sold for Rs. 1890. What is the value of A?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Price after the first 10% discount = 3000 × 90 / 100

= ₹2700

After the second discount,

2700 × (100 - A) / 100 = 1890

100 - A = 1890 × 100 / 2700 = 70

A = 30%
