      above its cost price and sold after two successive discounts of 16% and Rs. β€˜X’ respectively such that it is sold at a profit of 12%. Find the value of β€˜X’.
      A 152 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 162 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      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 Γ— 1.5 = Rs. 1950 Selling price of the article after first discount = 1950 Γ— (84/100) = Rs. 1638 Selling price of the article after second discount = 1300 Γ— 1.12 = Rs. 1456 So, second discount = X = 1638 – 1456 = 182
