Correct Answer: Rs. 405


Solution : We know,
Equivalent single discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%,
Where $a,b$ are successive discounts.
So, $10+10-\frac{10\times 10}{100}=19$%
$\therefore$ Required selling price = (100 – 19)% of 500 = $\frac{500 \times 81}{100}$ = Rs. $405$
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 405
