Question : The difference between a discount of 30% on Rs. 2,000 and two successive discounts of 25% and 5% on the same amount is:
Option 1: Rs. 30
Option 2: Rs. 35
Option 3: Rs. 25
Option 4: Rs. 40
Correct Answer: Rs. 25
Solution : Amount = Rs. 2,000 If discount = 30%, final amount = $\frac{70}{100}$ × 2000 = Rs. 1,400 If two successive discounts of 25% and 5%, final amount = $\frac{75}{100}$ × $\frac{95}{100}$ × 2000 = Rs. 1,425 $\therefore$ Difference = 1425 – 1400 = Rs. 25 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 25.
