Correct Answer: 1058.4
Solution :
Given, the marked price of the fan = Rs. 1285
Price of the Fan after cash discount = Rs. 1285 – Rs. 85 = Rs. 1200
The new marked price of the fan = Rs. 1200
Price of the Fan after 1st discount = 1200 – 10% of 1200 = 1200 – 120 = Rs. 1080
The newly marked price of the fan = Rs. 1080
Price of the Fan after 2nd discount = 1080 – 2% of 1080 = 1080 – 21.6 = Rs. 1058.4
So, the selling price of the fan is Rs. 1,058.4
Hence, the correct answer is 1,058.4.
