Correct Answer: Rs. 64
Solution : A single discount of 20% would reduce the bill = 10000 – 0.20 × 10000 = Rs. 8000 Two successive discounts of 16% and 4% would reduce the bill, = 10000 – 0.16 × 10000 = Rs. 8400 (after the first discount) = 8400 – 0.04 × 8400 = Rs. 8064 (after the second discount) The difference between the two scenarios = 8064 – 8000 = Rs. 64 Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 64.
