On an item there is cash 5% discount on the marked price of Rs 25,000. After giving an additional season's discount the item is sold at Rs 20,900. How much was the season's discount (in %)?
After 5% discount on the marked price of Rs 25,000 ,the price become = $$0.95\times25000=23750\ Rs.$$
Let say, he gave x% discount .
So, $$23750\left(1-\frac{x}{100}\right)=20900\ .$$
or, $$\left(1-\frac{x}{100}\right)=\frac{20900}{23750}=0.88\ .$$
or, $$\frac{x}{100}=1-0.88=0.12\ .$$
or, $$x=12\ .$$
C is correct choice.
