2. Rs. 735
3. Rs. 450
4. Rs. 925

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Rs. 825

Given:

Selling price = Rs. 935

Discount% 1 = 15%

Discount% 2 = 25% 

Formula Used:

Selling price = Marked price × (100 - Discount%)/100

Calculation:

Let assume that marked price be x

Case: 1 

Discount% = 15%

⇒ Marked price = 935 × 100/(100 - 15)

⇒ x = Rs. 1100

Case: 2

⇒ Selling price = 1100 × (100 - 25)/100

⇒ Selling price = 1100 × 75/100

⇒ Selling price = Rs. 825

∴ Selling price of article would be Rs. 825

The correct option is 1 i.e. Rs. 825
