    A) Rs. 133.7

    B) Rs. 129.8

    C) Rs. 163.2

    D) Rs. 153.3

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Single discount against two discounts             \[=\left( 15+4-\frac{15\times 4}{100} \right)%\]             \[=(19-0.6)%=18.4%\] \[\therefore \] Payment against Rs. 200 toy \[=\left( 200-200\times \frac{18.4}{100} \right)\] \[=(200-36.8)\] \[\text{Rs}\text{.}=163.20\]
