    C Rs 320 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 420. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Successive Discount =10%,5%, and 4% For final discount – 10+5-(10Γ—5)/100 =15-0.5 =14.5% So now 14.5% and 4% - =14.5+4- (14.5Γ—4)/100 =18.5-0.58 Final discount =17.92% Let the MP =100 SP =100-17.92 =82.08 ATQ- 82.08=298.496 1=298.496/82.08 1=3.636 Then MP =3.636Γ—100 =363.6 Rs.
