    C)  25       

    D)  14

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Marked price of chair \[=Rs.\,800\] and the equivalent discount to 10% and 15% respectively \[=10+15-\frac{10\times 15}{100}=23.5\] SP of the chair \[=800-\frac{800\times 23.5}{100}=Rs.(800-188)=Rs.612\] Total cost of chair \[=Rs.(612+28)=Rs.640\] New SP of chair = 800 \[\therefore \]      Profit % \[=\frac{800-640}{100}\times 100%=25%\]
