Correct Answer: INR 24,678.72


Solution : Price after 1st discount of 18% = 100% – 18% = 82%
Price after 2nd discount of 12% = 82% – 0.12(82%) = 92% – 9.84% = 72.16%
Price after 3rd discount of 5% = 72.16% – 0.05(72.16)% = 68.552%
So, the selling price after three successive discounts = 68.552% of 36000
= $\frac{68.552}{100}\times 36000$
= $24,678.72$
Hence, the correct answer is INR 24,678.72.
