Correct Answer: 15%
Solution : The first discount of 10% on Rs. 1600. Discount = 10% of Rs. 1600 = $\frac{10}{100}$ × 1600 = Rs. 160 Price of watch after 1st discount = Rs. 1600 – Rs. 160 = Rs. 1440 As the customer pays Rs. 1224 after the second discount, the second discount amounts = Rs. 1440 – Rs. 1224 = Rs. 216 $\therefore$ The second discount percentage $=\frac{216}{1440}× 100 = 15\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 15%.
