Correct Answer: Rs. 86.4
Solution : Selling Price = Original Price – (Original Price × $\frac{\text{Discount %}}{100}$) Single discount of 48% on Rs. 1080: ⇒ Selling Price = 1080 – (1080 × $\frac{48}{100})$ ⇒ Selling Price = 1080 – 518.4 $\therefore$ Selling Price = Rs. 561.6 Successive discounts of 25% and 20% on Rs. 1080: ⇒ Selling Price = 1080 – (1080 × $\frac{25}{100}$) – ((1080 – (1080 × $\frac{25}{100}$))× $\frac{20}{100}$ ⇒ Selling Price = 1080 – 270 – (810 × $\frac{20}{100}$) ⇒ Selling Price = 1080 – 270 – 160 $\therefore$ Selling Price = Rs. 648 Difference = Selling Price with a single discount – Selling Price with successive discounts ⇒ Difference = Rs. 561.6 – Rs. 648 = Rs. 86.4 Hence, The correct answer is Rs. 86.4.
