Correct Answer: 25 : 14


Solution : Given: Two successive discounts of 20% and 30% are given while selling an item.
Let the marked price be INR 100.
The selling price after the first discount = 100 – 20 = INR 80.
The selling price after the second discount = 80 – 30% of 80 = 80 – 24 = INR 56
The ratio of the marked price to the selling price of the item = 100 : 56 = 25 : 14
Hence, the correct answer is 25 : 14.
