Correct Answer: Rs. 17,298
Solution : Marked price = Rs. 20,000 Successive discounts are 7% and 7%. Selling price = $(100-D_1)\% \text{ of } (100-D_2)\% \text{ of } \text{MP}$, where D 1 and D 2 are discount percentage and MP is the marked price. So, the selling price = 93% of 93% of Rs. 20,000 = $\frac{93 × 93 × 20000}{100 × 100}$ = 93 × 93 × 2 = Rs. 17,298 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 17,298.
