Correct Answer: INR 4,037.50
Solution : Marked price of the article = INR 5000 Two successive discounts are 15% and 5%. Selling Price = Marked Price – Marked Price × Discount% Price after 1st discount = $5000-5000 \times \frac{15}{100}$ = INR 4250 Price after 2nd discount = $4250 -4250 \times \frac{5}{100}$ = INR 4,037.50 $\therefore$ The required selling price after discounts is INR 4,037.50 Hence, the correct answer is INR 4,037.50.
