Correct Answer: 3%
Solution : Let the first discount as 10% and the second discount as \(x\%\). After the first discount of 10%, the price of the speaker becomes 90% of the marked price = 0.9 × 1000 = Rs. 900 Given that the man buys it at Rs. 873 after the second discount. $⇒ 900 × (1 - \frac{x}{100}) = 873$ $⇒ 100 × (1 - \frac{x}{100}) = 97$ $⇒ 100-x = 97$ $⇒ x = 3$ Hence, the correct answer is 3%.
