    Question

    The list price of an article at a showroom is Rs.2000, and it is being sold at successive discounts of 20% and 10%. Find its net selling price.

    A.

    Rs.1700

    B.

    Rs.1440

    C.

    Rs.1400

    D.

    Rs.1520

    Correct option is B


    List price of an article at a showroom = Rs. 2000
    Successive discount on selling price = 20% & 10%
    Formula Used:
    Successive Discount formula = D1 + D2 - (D1 x D2)/100
    Selling price formula = {MP x (100-D)}/100
    Calculation:
    Substituting the values in formula
    Successive discount = 20 + 10 (20 x 10)/100 = 28%
    ⇒28%
    Selling price of the article = 2000 × (100-28)/100 = Rs. 1440
