Correct Answer: Ravi, 4
Solution : Discounted price for Ravi = 500 × $\frac{100-36}{100}$ × $\frac{100-5}{100}$ = 500 × $\frac{64}{100}$ × $\frac{95}{100}$ = INR 304 Now, for Prabhat, a single discount of 40% is given, Discounted price for Prabhat = 500 × $\frac{100-40}{100}$ = 500 × $\frac{60}{100}$ = INR 300 From the final prices of Ravi and Prabhat, it can be seen that Ravi paid more amount. Difference = 304 - 300 = INR 4 Hence, the correct answer is Ravi, 4.
