Correct Answer: 52%
Solution : Given, Successive discounts = 20%, 25%, and 20% Single equivalent discount = $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100}$)%, where $a$% and $b$% are successive discounts. $=20+25-\frac{20\times 25}{100}$ $=45-5=40$% Again, for 40% and 20%, we get, ⇒ $40+20-\frac{40\times20}{100}$ $=60-8=52$% Hence, the correct answer is 52%.
