Correct Answer - Option 2 : 488
Given :
An article is sold for Rs.x after successive discounts of 35% and 40% and the marked price of the article is Rs. 800
Concept used :
Marked price × (100 - x)/(100) × (100 - y)/(100) = selling price
where x and y are discount%
Calculations :
According to the question
800 × (100 - 35)/(100) × (100 - 40)/(100) = x
⇒ x = [65/100] × [60/100] × 800
⇒ x = 312 rupees
Required difference = marked price - selling price
⇒ 800 - 312
⇒ 488
∴ Option 2 will be the correct answer.
