Correct Answer: 5%
Solution :
The marked price of a computer = Rs. 48000
Selling price of a TV = Rs. 39672
First discount = 13%
Let the second discount be $x$%.
$39672 = \frac{(100-x)}{100}×\frac{87}{100}×48000$
⇒ $\frac{39672×100}{48000×87} = \frac{(100-x)}{100}$
⇒ $95 = 100-x$
⇒ $x = 5$
Hence, the correct answer is 5%.
