Correct Answer: 10%
Solution : Selling price = marked price – discount The selling price of the fan after the first discount is: $⇒150 - \frac{20}{100} \times 150 = $ Rs.120 Let the additional discount as $x$. So, $120 - \frac{x}{100} \times 120 = 108$ $⇒\frac{x}{100} \times 120 = 120 - 108$ $⇒x = \frac{12}{12} \times 10 = 10$% Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
