Answer 1

Price after the first discount = marked price - first discount
= 1600 - 160 = ₹1440
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> $\left[1\right]$
Selling price = ₹1224 = Price after first discount - second discount
1224 = 1440 - second discount
$⟹$ second discount = 1440 - 1224 = ₹216
