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.
