Correct Answer: Rs. 229.50
Solution : We know, Equivalent single discount = $(a+b-\frac{a\times b}{100})$%, Where $a,b$ are successive discounts. So, $15+10-\frac{15\times 10}{100}=23.5$% $\therefore$ Required selling price = (100 – 23.5)% of 300 = $\frac{300 \times 76.5}{100}$ = Rs. 229.50 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 229.50.
