Correct Answer: Rs. 360


Solution : Given: Marked price = Rs. 500
1st discount($x$) = 20%
2nd discount($y$) = 10%
$\therefore$ Effective discount = $x + y - \frac{xy}{100}=20 + 10 - \frac{200}{100}= 28\%$
Now, the selling price = $500×\frac{100-28}{100}$ = Rs. 360
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 360.
