Correct Answer: 10 percent
Solution : The marked price of a computer is Rs. 10000. The selling price of the computer is Rs. 7650. According to the question, For two successive discounts selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×$ marked price $10000×\frac{85}{100}×\frac{100-x}{100}=7650$ $⇒100-x=90$ $\therefore x =10\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 10 percent.
