  1. A dealer buys a table listed at Rs. 1,500 and gets successive discounts of 20% and 10%. He spends Rs. 20 on transportation and sells it at a profit of 20%. Find the selling price of the table.
    1. Rs. 1,420
    2. Rs. 1,300
    3. Rs. 1,320
    4. Rs. 1,380
Correct Option: C

Single equivalent discount for 20% and 10%

= 20 + 10 −
20 × 10
% = 28%
100

∴  C.P. = (100 – 28)% of 1500
∴  C.P =
1500 × 72
= Rs. 1080
100

Actual C.P. = Rs. (1080 + 20) = Rs. 1100

∴  S.P. on 20% profit =
1100 × 120
= Rs. 1320
100
