Solution

The correct option is D

5%


After the first discount of 10% on Rs.1600, the sale price drops to,

Rs.1600− Rs.160 = Rs.1440

As the customer pays finally after the second discount, Rs.1224, the second discount amounts to,

Rs.1440−Rs.1224 = Rs.216

This discount is on the sale price of Rs.1440. So the percentage discount is,

2161440×100 = 5%.
