The marked price of an item for sale is ₹ 240. If two successive discount of 10% and 5% are given on them marked price, then the selling price of the item (in ₹) will be:1. ₹34.802. ₹205.203. ₹364. ₹204

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : ₹205.20

Given:

Marked price = ₹ 240

Discount = 10% and 5%

Formula used:

Successive discount% = {(x + y) - (x × y)/100}

where, x and y are discount 

Discount = M.P × {(100 - discount%)/100}

S.P = M.P - Discount

Calculation:

Let x be 10% and y be 5%

Successive discount = {(x + y) - (x × y)/100}

⇒ Successive discount = {(10 + 5) - (10 × 5)/100}

⇒ Successive discount = 15 - 0.5 ⇒ 14.5%

Discount = M.P × {(100 - discount%)/100}

⇒ Discount = 240 × {(100 - 14.5)/100}

⇒ Discount = 240 × {(85.5)/100}

⇒ Discount = 205.20

∴ The selling price of the item is ₹ 205.20.
