The marked price of a T.V. is 16000 Rs. After getting two successive discounts it is sold for 11400 Rs. If the first discount is 5%, then the rate of second discount is :
[A]15%
[B]20%
[C]25%
[D]30%
25%
After a discount of 5% SP
$latex = \frac{95\times 16000}{100} = 15200\ Rs.&s=1$
Let the second discount be x%.
∴ x% of 15200 = (15200 – 11400)
$latex => \frac{x\times 15200}{100} = 3800&s=1$
$latex => x = \frac{3800\times 100}{15200} = 25&s=1$
∴ Second Discount = 25%
Hence option [C] is correct answer.
