Solution : We know: Equivalent single discount = $(X+Y−\frac{XY}{100})$% where $X$ and $Y$ represent successive discounts. Net discount % for two successive discounts of 12% and 20% = 12 + 20 - $\frac{12\times 20}{100}$ = 29.6% Net discount % for two successive discounts of 29.6% and 25% = 29.6 + 25 - $\frac{29.6\times 25}{100}$ = 47.2% Hence, the correct answer is 47.2%.
