Correct Answer: 24.95%


Solution : Marked price = INR 26,000
Amount discounted = 18% of 26000 = 0.18 × 26000 = INR 4680
Final price = 26000 – 4680 = INR 21320
Selling price = INR 16000
Additional amount discounted = 21320 – 16000 = 5320
Additional discount = $\frac{5320}{21320}×100=24.95\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 24.95%.
