Solution : Given: An article is listed at INR 7,600 and the discount offered unit is 10%. Discount = Marked price – Selling price The price after 10% discount = $\frac{90}{100}\times 7600=$ INR 6,840. The net selling price is INR 5,814. The second discount = INR 6840 – INR 5814 = INR 1,026. The additional discount = $\frac{1026}{6840}\times 100=15$%. Hence, the correct answer is 15%.
