Solution : Given, The marked price of a cap is INR 2,000. Two successive discounts of 15% and $x$% are given and the selling price is INR 1,275. We know, Discounted price = $\frac{100-\text{discount percentage}}{100}×$ marked price With successive discounts of 15% and $x$% in 2000, ⇒ $1275=\frac{100−15}{100}×\frac{100−x}{100}×2000$ ⇒ $1275=\frac{85}{100}×\frac{100-x}{100}×2000$ ⇒ $1275=\frac{85\times 2(100-x)}{10}$ ⇒ $1275=17(100-x)$ ⇒ $75=100-x$ ⇒ $x=25$% Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
