Option 1: INR 10,260

Option 2: INR 13,520

Option 3: INR 11,520

Option 4: INR 9,850

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: INR 10,260


Solution : A successive discount of 5%, 10%, and 20% means that these discounts are applied one after another
For three successive discounts of 5%, 10%, and 20%,
Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×\frac{100-\text{Discount}_3\%}{100}×$ marked price
⇒ Selling price $=\frac{100-5}{100}×\frac{100-10}{100}×\frac{100-20}{100}×15000$
⇒ Selling price $=\frac{95}{100}×\frac{90}{100}×\frac{80}{100}×15000$
⇒ Selling price
