Correct Answer: INR 1,615


Solution : First discount = 15%
⇒ First discount = $\frac{15}{100}×2000$ = INR 300
⇒ Reduced price after first discount = 2000 − 300 = INR 1700
Second discount = 5%
⇒ Second discount = $\frac{5}{100}×1700$ = INR 85
⇒ Selling price = 1700 − 85 = INR 1,615
Hence, the correct answer is INR 1,615.
