Correct Answer: 68% of Rs. 250


Solution : Single equivalent discount = $(x+y-\frac{xy}{100}$)% where $x$ and $y$ are two successive discounts.
Total Discount = $(20+15-\frac{20×15}{100}$)%
= 35 – 3
= 32%
So, the required Selling Price = (100 – 32)% of Rs. 250 = 68% of Rs. 250
Hence, the correct answer is '68% of Rs. 250'.
