On a Rs.10,000 payment order, a person has choice between 3 successive discounts of 10%, 10% and 30%. and 3 successive discounts of 40%,. 5% and 5%. By choosing the better one he can save (in Rupees):

A) 200
B) 255
C) 400
D) 433

Correct Answer:


B) 255

Description for Correct answer:
Selling price in the first case

= 70% of 90% of 90% of Rs.10000

= Rs.5670

Selling price in the second case

= 95% of 95% of 60% of Rs.10000

= \( \Large \frac{95}{100} \times \frac{95}{100} \times \frac{60}{100} \times 10000 \)

= Rs.5415

Therefore, Saving = Rs. \( \Large \left(5670 - 5415\right) \)

= Rs.255
