Question

The marked price of an article is ₹16000.A shopkeeper offered two successive discounts of 10% and 5%, respectively, to a customer. At what price did the customer buy that item?

• A. ₹11,680
• B. ₹13,680
• C. ₹12,680
• D. ₹14,680

Answer 1

Answer:

B. ₹13,680

The customer bought the item for ₹13,680.

• Initial Marked Price: ₹16,000

• After the first discount (10%):
  $16000 - (10\% \text{ of } 16000) = 16000 - 1600 = \text{14,400}$

• After the second discount (5%):
  $14400 - (5\% \text{ of } 14400) = 14400 - 720 = \text{13,680}$
