Answer 1

I think the answer the question is anything of the four options

Answer 2

Answer:

6.709 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked price of a Watch is Rs.8400.

First discount % = 12%

Cost after first discount = $8400- \frac{12}{100} \times 8400$

                                       = $7392$

Let the second discount % be x%

So, Cost after second discount% = $7392-\frac{x}{100} \times 7392$

We are given that It is to be sold at Rs.6896 at two successive discounts.

So, $7392-\frac{x}{100} \times 7392= 6896$

$7392-6896= \frac{x}{100} \times 7392$

$496= \frac{x}{100} \times 7392$

$\frac{496 \times 100}{7392}= x$

$6.709= x$

Hence the second discount is 6.709 %
