The marked price of an article is Rs. 500. It is sold at successive discount of 20% and 10%. The selling price of the article (in rupees) is :
[A]360
[B]400
[C]350
[D]375
360
Equilant discount of successive discount of 20% and 10%
$latex =\left ( 20+10-\frac{20\times 10}{100} \right )&s=1$%=28%
∴ Selling price = (100 – 28)% of Rs. 500 = 72% of 500
$latex =\frac{500\times 72}{100}=Rs. 360&s=1$
Hence option [A] is the right answer.
