Question

The difference between the discounts of $40$% on Rs. $5000$ and two successive discounts of $30$% and $10$% on the same price is :

• A. $100$
• B. $200$
• C. $150$
• D. $250$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $150$

$40\%$ of $5000=\frac{40}{100}\times 5000=2000$

$30\%$ of $5000=\frac{30}{100}\times 5000=1500$

Remaining $=5000-1500=3500$

$10\%$ of $3500$ $=\frac{10}{100}\times 3500=350$

Total discount $=350+1500=1850$

Total difference in discount $=2000-1850=150$
