Correct Answer: 23.50%
Solution : We know, Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts. Here, $a$ = 10% and $b$ = 15% $\therefore$ Single equivalent discount $= 10 + 15 - \frac{10 × 15}{100}=25-1.50=23.50\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 23.50%.
