Given:

The marked price of a frock is Rs. 4,500. It is to be sold at Rs. 2,400 at two successive discounts

Calculation:

MP of the article = Rs. 4500

SP of the article after getting 20% discount = 4500 × (80/100) = 3600

Second SP of the article = Rs. 2400

Second discount = 3600 – 2400 = 1200

∴ Discount percentage = 1200/3600 × 100 = 100/3%

∴ The correct option is 4
