Question

An item costs ₹2,000 less than ₹5,000. The dealer offers a discount of 10% and the retailer further offers a discount of 5% on its CP. The final SP for the customer is:

• A. ₹2,878
• B. ₹1,987
• C. ₹2,565
• D. ₹3,454

Answer 1

Answer:

C. ₹2,565

The final selling price (SP) for the customer is ₹2,565.

1. Find the base cost of the item:
   The item costs ₹2,000 less than ₹5,000.
   $\text{Base Price} = 5,000 - 2,000 = 3,000$
   

2. Apply the dealer's 10% discount:

   • Discount amount = $10\% \text{ of } 3,000 = 300$

   • Price after dealer's discount = $₹3,000 - ₹300 = ₹2,700$

3. Apply the retailer's further 5% discount:

   • Discount amount = $5\% \text{ of } 2,700 = 135$

   • Final Selling Price = $₹2,700 - ₹135 = ₹2,565$
