Question : The Marked price of a TV is Rs. 16,000. After two successive discounts, it is sold for Rs. 11,400. If the first discount is 5%, then the rate of the second discount is:

Option 1: 15%

Option 2: 20%

Option 3: 30%

Option 4: 25%

Team Careers360 24th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 25%


Solution : The marked price of a TV = Rs. 16,000
Selling price of a TV = Rs. 11,400
