    1. ₹ 1,368
    2. ₹ 1,468
    3. ₹ 1,568
    4. ₹ 1,668
Correct Option: A

Single equivalent discount for two successive discounts of 20% and 10%

= 28 + 10 −
20 × 10
% = 28%
100

Now , single discount for 28% and 5%
= 28 + 5 −
28 × 5
%
100

= (33 – 1.4) % = 31.6%
∴  Required selling price of bicycle at cash payment = (100 – 31.6) % of ₹ 2000
∴  Required selling price of bicycle at cash payment =
2000 × 68.4
= ₹ 1368
100
