    A businessman allows two successive discounts of 20% and 10%. If he gets Rs. 108 for an article, then its marked price is

    A)  Rs. 124

    B)  Rs. 140

    C)  Rs. 150

    D)  Rs. 170

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Let the marked price = Rs. x After a discount of 20% price \[=x-\frac{20}{100}x=Rs.\frac{4x}{5}\] After a 10% discount on new price \[=\frac{4x}{5}-\frac{10}{100}\times \frac{4x}{5}\] \[=Rs.\frac{4x}{5}-\frac{2x}{25}\] \[=Rs.\frac{18x}{25}\] As given \[\frac{18x}{25}=108\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[x=\frac{108\times 25}{18}=Rs.150\]
