Correct Answer: Rs. 9650


Solution : Let the marked price of the article be Rs. $x$.
For two successive discounts Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×$ marked price
$⇒4632=x×\frac{100-40}{100}×\frac{100-20}{100}$
$\therefore x=9650$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 9650.
