• C. Rs 405
• D. Rs 450

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Rs 405

Answer 2

Marked price of the bag = $Rs. 600$

So, the Relative discount after successive discounts of 25% and 10% will be = $25 + 10 - (\frac{25 \times 10}{100}) = 32.5$%

The Sale price will be = $600 - (\frac{32.5}{100} \times 600)$

= $600 - 195$

= $Rs. 405$

The correct option is (C): Rs.405
