Correct Answer: 40095


Solution : Marked price = INR 55,000
Successive discounts of 10%, 10%, and 10%
For thre successive discounts, selling price = $\frac{100-\text{Discount}_1\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_2\%}{100}× \frac{100-\text{Discount}_3\%}{100}×$ marked price
Selling price = $\frac{90}{100}$×$\frac{90}{100}$×$\frac{90}{100}$× 55,000 = INR 40,095.
Hence, the correct answer is 40095.
