Q. The marked price of a T.V. is 16000 Rs. After getting two successive discounts it is sold for 11400 Rs. If the first discount is 5%, then the rate of second discount is :
Answer: 25%
Notes: After a discount of 5% SP $latex = \frac{95\times 16000}{100} = 15200\ Rs.&s=1$ Let the second discount be x%. ∴ x% of 15200 = (15200 - 11400) $latex => \frac{x\times 15200}{100} = 3800&s=1$ $latex => x = \frac{3800\times 100}{15200} = 25&s=1$ ∴ Second Discount = 25% Hence option [C] is correct answer.
