Correct Answer: Rs. 1,188


Solution : Marked price = Rs.1650
Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts.
So, Single equivalent discount of 10% and 20% = $10+20-\frac{10×20}{100}$ = 28%
Amount discounted = 28% of Rs. 1650 = Rs. 462
Selling price = marked price – discount = Rs.1650 – Rs. 462 = Rs. 1188
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1,188.
