    Question

    After two successive discounts of x% each, an item was sold

    for Rs. 2025. The original marked price of the item was Rs. 3600. Find the discount percentage.
    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

    0.36 × (100 – x)² = 2025

    (100 – x)² = 5625

    100 – x = 75

    x = 25

    So, the value of ‘x’ is 25%
