CorrectNot quiteAnswer C

Correct answer: C

Explanation

  1. Single 30%: pay 0.70 of MP.

  2. 20% then 10%: pay 0.8×0.9=0.720.8 \times 0.9 = 0.72 of MP.

  3. Difference = 0.02 of MP = ₹72.

  4. MP = 72÷0.0272 \div 0.02 = ₹3,600.

Worth noting

₹7,200 assumes a 1% gap. ₹720 treats ₹72 as 10% of the MP.
