SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 62

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 24.47%.

If two successive discounts are x% and y%, the equivalent single discount percentage D is given by:

D = x + y - $\frac{xy}{100}$

given

x = 9%

y = 17%

D = 9 + 17 − $\frac{9×17}{100}$

D = 26 − $\frac{153}{100}$

D = 26 − 1.53

D = 24.47%
