Correct answer: (C) 40
Marked price = ₹1730. First discount = d% of MP = 17.3d rupees, price becomes 1730 - 17.3d. The second discount has the 'same nominal value' i.e. also ₹17.3d is subtracted again. So final price = 1730 - 2(17.3d) = 346 → 34.6d = 1384 → d = 40.
हिंदी में प्रश्न
एक व्यक्ति ने एक वस्तु को उसके अंकित मूल्य पर पहले d% की छूट देकर, और फिर समान अंकित मूल्य (₹ में) की एक और छूट देकर ₹346 में बेचा। यदि वस्तु का अंकित मूल्य ₹1730 है, तो d का मान क्या है?

सही उत्तर: (C) 40
अंकित मूल्य = ₹1730। पहली छूट = MP का d% = 17.3d रुपये, मूल्य होगा 1730 - 17.3d। दूसरी छूट का 'समान अंकित मूल्य' है अर्थात उसमें भी ₹17.3d ही घटाया जाता है। अतः अंतिम मूल्य = 1730 - 2(17.3d) = 346 → 34.6d = 1384 → d = 40।
