  1. A chair listed at ₹ 350 is available at successive discounts of 25% and 10%. The selling price of the chair is
    1. ₹ 236.25
    2. ₹ 230.25
    3. ₹ 240.25
    4. ₹ 242.25
Correct Option: A

Single equivalent discount = 25 + 10 −
25 × 10
= 32.5%
100

∴  S.P. of chair =
350 (100 − 32.5)
100

∴  S.P. of chair =
350 × 67.5
= ₹ 236.25
100

Alternate method to solve this question :
Here, M.P. = 350, D1 = 25 %, D2 = 10 %
S.P. = M.P.
100 − D1
100 − D2

S.P = 350 ×

100 − 10
