Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e.Rs. 684

Given that

The marked price of a woolen Jacket = Rs. 800

Regular discount is 10%, but due to season off. the additional discount is 5% 

According to the question

The selling price of the jacket = 800 × (100 - 10)/100 × (100 - 5)/100

= 800 × 90/100 × 95/100

= Rs. 684
