A fan is listed at ₹ 1,400 and the discount offered is 10%. What additional discount must be given to bring the net selling price to ₹ 1,200 ?

1. 16 2 %
  3
2. 5%
3. 4 16 %
  21
4. 6%

Correct Option: C

Marked price of the fan = ₹ 1400
SP after allowing a discount of 10% = 90% of 1400

=	1400 × 90	= ₹ 1260
	100

Second discount = ₹ (1260 – 1200 ) = ₹ 60
Let the second discount be x%.
∴ x% of 1260 = 60

⇒ x =	60 × 100	=	100	= 4	16	%
	1260		21		21
