The marked price of a Watch is Rs.8400. It is to be sold at Rs.6896 at two successive discounts. If the first discount is 12%, the second discount is ?

A 7.2 %

B 9.14 %

C 7.13 %

D 6.709 %

Solution

Correct Answer: Option D

(100-x)% of 88% of 8400 = 6896

=> \(\frac{100-x}{100}\left(\frac{88}{100}x8400\right)\;=\;6896\)

=> x = 6.709%
