Correct Answer: Third
Solution : After two successive discounts of 25% and 15%, the selling price is $\frac{50000×75×85} {100×100}=31875$ $\therefore$ Profit = (50000 – 31875) = INR 18125 After two successive discounts of 20% and 20%, the selling price is $\frac{50000×80×80} {100×100}=32000$ $\therefore$ Profit = (50000 – 32000) = INR 18000 After two successive discounts of 30% and 10%, the selling price is $\frac{50000×70×90} {100×100}=31500$ $\therefore$ Profit = (50000 – 31500) = INR 18500 So, the third shopkeeper gives the most discount. Hence, the correct answer is "Third".
