Question

An article is sold for Rs. 1,683, after giving three successive discounts of 15%, 10% and 12% on its marked price. The marked price of the article is:
1.    Rs. 2,400
2.    Rs. 2,640
3.    Rs. 2,500
4.    Rs. 2,560

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 :    Rs. 2,500

Given:

Selling price = Rs.1683

Concept Used:

If a%, b% are two different discounts then the selling price is calculated as -

Selling price = marked price × (100 - a)/100 × (100 - b)/100

Calculation:

Marked price × 85/100 × 90/100 × 88/100 = 1683

∴ Marked price = Rs.2500
