Option 3: Way A, INR 21,280
Option 4: Way B, INR 21,168
Correct Answer: Way B, INR 21,168
Solution : Given: The marked price of an article is INR 28,000. Use the formula, $SP=(1-\frac{d_1}{100})\times (1-\frac{d_2}{100})\times MP$ where $SP, d_1, d_2$ and $MP$ are the selling price, the discount percentages, and the marked price. For the Way A, $SP=1–\frac{24}{100}\times 28000$ ⇒ $SP=\frac{100–24}{100}\times 28000$
