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.
