The marked price of an article is ₹1,200. The shopkeeper offered two successive discounts of 10% and 5% respectively to a customer. At what price did the customer purchase the article?

Correct option is B

Given:

Marked Price = ₹1200

First Discount = 10%

Second Discount = 5%

Solution:

Apply first discount of 10%:

First Discount Amount = $$\frac{r}{100}\times Marked\ Price$$

= $$\frac{10}{100}\times 1200=120$$ 

Price after first discount = Marked Price - First Discount Amount

Price after first discount = 1200 - 120 = 1080

Apply second discount of 5%:

Second Discount Amount = $$\frac{r}{100}\times Price\ after\ first \ discount$$​​

Second Discount Amount = $$\frac{5}{100}\times 1080 = 54$$

Final Price = Price after first discount - Second Discount Amount

Final Price = (1080 - 54) =₹1026

Thus the correct answer is (B)
