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.
