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
