Correct Answer: Rs. 8550
Solution : Single equivalent discount = $(a+b–\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts. Here $a$ = 10% and $b$ = 5% ⇒ Single equivalent discount = $10+5-\frac{10×5}{100}=15-0.5=14.5\%$ Selling price = $10000×\frac{100-14.5}{100}=10000×\frac{85.5}{100}=8550$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 8550.
