• A. 35% less than Rs. 250.00
• B. 65% of Rs. 250.00
• C. 77% of Rs. 250.00
• D. 68% of Rs. 250.00
• E. none of these.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

68% of Rs. 250.00

Sale Price = $250(1-\frac{20}{100})(1-\frac{15}{100})=250\left(\frac{80}{100}\right)\left(\frac{85}{100}\right)=250\left(\frac{68}{100}\right)$

$\therefore$ Sale Price = 68% of Rs. 250.00
