    C 182 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 172 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Marked price of the article = 1300 × 1.5 = Rs. 1950 Selling price of the article after first discount = 1950 × (84/100) = Rs. 1638 Selling price of the article after second discount = 1300 × 1.12 = Rs. 1456 So, second discount = X = 1638 – 1456 = 182
