    C) Rs. 1568                       

    D) Rs. 1668

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Single equivalent discount for two successive discounts 20% and 10%             \[=\left( 20+10-\frac{28\times 5}{100} \right)%\]             = 28% Now, single discount for 28% and 5%             \[=\left( 28+5-\frac{28\times 5}{100} \right)%\]             \[=(33-1.4)%=31.6%\] \[\therefore \] Required selling price of bicycle at cash payment             \[=(100-31.6)%\,\,\text{of}\,\,Rs.\,2000\]             \[=\frac{2000\times 68.4}{100}=Rs.\,1368\]
