The marked price of an article is ₹600. If a shopkeeper gives two successive discounts of 20% and 10% on the marked price of the article, how much would be the selling price (in ₹) of the article?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. ₹432.

Marked Price = ₹600

Single discount = -20 - 10 + 200/100 = -30 + 2 = -28%

⇒ 600 × 7210072\over100 = 432
