An article is listed at ₹ 65. A customer bought this article for ₹ 56.16 with two successive
discounts of which one is 10%. The other discount of this discount scheme that was allowed by the shopkeeper is

1. 4%
2. 3%
3. 6%
4. 2.5%

Correct Option: A

Let the other discount be x%.

65 ×	90	×	(100 − x)	= 56.16
	100		100

⇒ 100 − x =	56.16 × 100 × 100
	65 × 90

⇒ 100 – x = 96
⇒ x = 4%
