Correct Answer: 810
Solution :
Marked Price on a book = INR 1,000
Successive discounts of 12% and 8%
For two successive discounts Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}×$ marked price
Selling Price = $\frac{88}{100}$×$\frac{92}{100}$×1,000 = 809.6 $\approx$ INR 810
Hence, the correct answer is 810.
