Correct Answer: 23.37%
Solution : The marked price of the TV = INR 14,500 Selling price of TV = INR 10,000 First discount percentage = 10% Let the second discount percentage be $b$%. Total discount given = $\frac{14500-10000}{14500}\times 100$ = 31.034% We know final discount after two consecutive discounts of $a$% and $b$% = ($a+b-\frac{a\times b}{100}$)% So, $31.034 = (10+ b-\frac{10\times b}{100}$)% ⇒ $21.034 = b - 0.1b$ ⇒ $b =\frac{21.034}{0.9}$ ⇒ $b = 23.37$% Hence, the correct answer is 23.37%.
