For an electric bill for Rs. 50,000, what is the difference between a discount of 30% and two successive discounts of 26% and 5%?

Correct option is B

Given:
The original bill amount is Rs. 50,000.
We need to find the difference between a discount of 30% and two successive discounts of 26% and 5%.
Formula Used:
Final Amount = Original Amount $$\times (1 - \frac{Discount \%}{100})$$​​
Final Amount = Original Amount$$\times (1 - \frac{Discount1\%}{100}) \times (1 - \frac{Discount2\%}{100})$$​​
Solution:
Amount after a 30% discount = 50000 × (1 - 30/100) = Rs. 35000.00
Final Amount after successive discounts of 26% and 5%: = 50000 × (1 - 26/100) × (1 - 5/100) = Rs. 35150.00
Difference = Rs. 35000.00 - Rs. 35150.00 = Rs.150.00
Thus, the difference between the two discounts is Rs. 150.00.
