Solution : Given: The marked price of a computer is Rs. 14,000. The selling price of the computer is Rs. 9,702. The two successive discounts of 23% and $y$% are given. Here marked price (MP) = Rs. 14,000 After the first discount of 23% the selling price (SP) = 14000 × $\frac{100-23}{100}$ = Rs. 10,780 The final SP = Rs. 9702 So, the difference = (10780 – 9702) = Rs. 1078 According to the question, $y=\frac{1078}{10780}×100$ ⇒ $y=10$% Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
