Correct Answer: INR 3,800
Solution : We know the formula for successive discounts, Selling price = $MP(1 - \frac{D_1}{100})(1 - \frac{D_2}{100})$ Where $MP$ is the marked price and $D_1, D_2$ are the discounts. $\mathrm{D_1=5}$% $\mathrm{D_2=15}$% On substituting the values, $\mathrm{MP(1 - \frac{5}{100})(1 - \frac{15}{100})}=3068.50$ $⇒\mathrm{MP×( \frac{19}{20})×(\frac{17}{20})}=3068.50$ $⇒\mathrm{MP×( \frac{323}{400})}=3068.50$ $⇒\mathrm{MP}=\frac{400}{323}× 3068.50$ $⇒\mathrm{MP}=400×9.50$ $⇒\mathrm{MP}=3800$ Hence, the correct answer is INR 3,800.
