Marked price (M.P) = Rs.50000
Discount (D)% = 40%
Two successive discounts:
Discount (D1) = 36% ; Discount (D2) = 4%
Formula used:
Effective discount (Ds) = D1 + D2 - (D1 × D2)/100
Calculation:
Effective discount (Ds) = D1 + D2 - (D1 × D2)/100
⇒ 36 + 4 - (36 × 4)/100
⇒ 40 - 1.44 = 38.56%
Difference in the bill after discount = 50000 × (40 - 38.56)%
⇒ 50000 × 1.44% = Rs.720
∴ The correct answer is Rs.720.
