Question : The Marked price of a TV is Rs. 16,000. After two successive discounts, it is sold for Rs. 11,400. If the first discount is 5%, then the rate of the second discount is:
Option 1: 15%
Option 2: 20%
Option 3: 30%
Option 4: 25%
Correct Answer: 25%
Solution : The marked price of a TV = Rs. 16,000 Selling price of a TV = Rs. 11,400 First discount = 5% Let the second discount be $x$%. So, $11400 = \frac{(100-x)}{100}×\frac{95}{100}×16000$ ⇒ $\frac{11400}{15200} = \frac{(100-x)}{100}$ ⇒ $15200-152x = 11400$ $\therefore x = 25\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
