Correct Answer: Rs. 4,300
Solution : Assume the price is Rs. 100. After a flat 50% discount, the selling price is (100 – 50) = Rs. 50 After two successive discounts of 30% and 30%, the selling price $=\frac{100 × 70 × 70}{100 × 100} = 49$ So, the difference is Re. 1 when the price is Rs. 100. Here, the given difference is Rs. 43. So, the price of the shirt is (43 × 100) = Rs. 4,300 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 4,300.
