Marked price (M.P) = Rs.3600
Concept used:
Discount% = M.P × D%
Effective discount (D) = (D1) + (D2) - (D1 × D2)/100
Calculation:
Discount (D1) = 3600 × 35%
⇒ 36 × 35 = Rs.1260
Effective discount = 30 + 5 - (30 × 5)/100
⇒ 35 - 1.5 = 33.5%
Discount (D2) = 3600 × 33.5% = Rs.1206
Difference between two discount = (1260 - 1206) = Rs.54
∴ The correct answer is Rs.54.
