Correct Answer: A = Rs. 33,600
B = Rs. 33,480


Solution : Selling price of A = Rs. 36000
Total discount by A = $20000 \times \frac{8}{100}+16000 \times \frac{5}{100}$ = 1600 + 800 = Rs. 2400
$\therefore$ Actual price charged by A = Rs. 36000 − Rs. 2400 = Rs. 33600
Actual price charged by B = Rs. $36000\times \frac{100−7}{100}= 36000\times \frac{93}{100}$ = Rs. 33480
Hence, the correct answer is A = Rs. 33600 and B = Rs. 33480.
