Correct Answer: INR 3600
Solution : Marked price = INR 5000 Two discounts are 20% and 10%. So, Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×$ marked price = 5000 × $\frac{100-20}{100}$ × $\frac{100-10}{100}$ = 5000 × $\frac{80}{100}$ × $\frac{90}{100}$ = INR 3600 Hence, the correct answer is INR 3600.
