Question

List price of an article at a showroom is $Rs2000$ and it is being sold at successive discounts of $20$ and $10$. Its net selling price will be :

• A. $Rs.1400$
• B. $Rs.1440$
• C. $Rs.1520$
• D. $Rs.1700$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$Rs.1440$

List price=2000 Rs.
First Discount=20%
20% of 2000=$\frac{20}{100}\times 2000=400Rs.$
$SellingPrice=2000-400=1600Rs.$
Second discount=10%
10% of 1600=$\frac{10}{100}\times 1600=160$
$SellingPrice=1600-160=1440Rs.$
