Correct Answer: Rs. 400
Solution : Single discount = 50% Single discount for the two successive discounts of 40% and 10% = (40 + 10 – $\frac{40×10}{100}$)% = (50 – 4)% = 46% The difference in discount percentage = 50% – 46% = 4% $\therefore$ Required difference = 4% of Rs. 10000 = Rs. 400 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 400.
