    identical discounts of x% each on the marked price of Rs. 1800. What is the value of x?
    A 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 18% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    3600 × (100 – x)% × (100 – x)% = 2025

    1800 × (100 – x)% × (100 – x)% = 1152

    0.18 × (100 – x)² = 1152

    (100 – x)² = 6400

    100 – x = 80

    x = 20

    So, the value of ‘x’ is 20%
