Correct Answer: 25%


Solution : The marked price of a TV = Rs. 16,000
Selling price of a TV = Rs. 11,400
First discount = 5%
Let the second discount be $x$%.
So, $11400 = \frac{(100-x)}{100}×\frac{95}{100}×16000$
⇒ $\frac{11400}{15200} = \frac{(100-x)}{100}$
⇒ $15200-152x = 11400$
$\therefore x = 25\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
