- The original selling price before the discount is included.

- With a 15% discount, the selling price is Rs 1,190.

- The formula for the selling price with a discount: Selling Price = Original Price - (Discount Percentage * Original Price).

- The original price (O) can be calculated as: O - 0.15 * O = 1,190.

- This simplifies to O = 1,190 / 0.85 = Rs 1,400.

- Now, applying a 12.5% discount on Rs 1,400: New Selling Price = 1,400 - (0.125 * 1,400).

- This equals Rs 1,400 - Rs 175 = Rs 1,225.

- Option 4: Rs 1,225 is the correct answer.
