Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 200000 GIVEN: 2 successive discounts of 50% and 50% Selling price = Rs. 50000 CONCEPT: FORMULA USED: Cumulative discount for x% and y% = x + y – xy/100 CALCULATION: Equivalent discount for 50% and 50% = 50 + 50 – 2500/100 = 75% ∴ Marked price of the bags = 50000/(1 – 0.75) = Rs. 200000 |
