    Question

    Marked price of a chair is Rs. 2000. After giving two successive discounts of 20 percent and x percent the chair is sold for Rs. 1400 What is the value of x?

    A.

    25 percent

    B.

    10 percent

    C.

    20 Percent

    D.

    12.5 Percent

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    Marked price = Rs. 2000, Selling price = Rs. 1400, First discount = 20%
    Formula Used:
    Selling price = Marked price × (1 - discount%)
    Selling Price after first discount = Rs. 2000 × (1 - 20/100) = Rs. 1600
    Let the second discount be x%.

    So, Selling Price after second discount, 1600 × (1 - x/100) = Rs. 1400
    x = (1600 - 1400) / 1600 × 100 = 12.5%
