The marked price of a revolving chair is ₹15,000. It is available on two successive discounts of 20% and 12%. What is its selling price (in ₹)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 10,560.

Given that, MP of chair = ₹15,000

Discounts, D1 = 20% and D2 = 12%

SP = MP ×(100−D1)100×(100−D2)100\times {(100 - D_1) \over 100} \times {(100 - D_2)\over 100}

According to the given question,

⇒ SP = 15000×(100−20)100×(100−12)10015000 \times {(100 - 20) \over 100} \times {(100 - 12)\over 100}

⇒ 15000×80100×8810015000 \times {80\over 100} \times {88\over 100} = 10560

Hence the the selling price of the chair is 10,560.
