The marked price of a cycle is ₹8,000. After two successive discounts, it is sold for ₹5,760. If the first discount is 10%, find the second discount rate.

Question

Accepted Answer

1. After first 10% discount, price = $8000	imes0.9=7200$.  
2. Let second discount be $r$. Then $7200	imes(1-r)=5760$.  
3. So $1-r=\dfrac{5760}{7200}=0.8$, hence $r=0.2=20\%$.  
4. Therefore the second discount is **20%**, choice **(b)**.
