- The article's marked price is Rs 80. Two successive discounts of 5% each need to be applied.

- The first discount of 5% on Rs 80 is Rs 4 (calculated as 5% of 80). So, the price becomes Rs 76.

- The second discount is 5% on the new price of Rs 76, which amounts to Rs 3.80 (calculated as 5% of 76).

- Subtracting Rs 3.80 from Rs 76 gives us a final selling price of Rs 72.20.

- Option:1, Rs76.60 - Incorrect after applying the discount calculation.

- Option:2, Rs72 - Lower than the calculated price.

- Option:3, Rs72.20 - This is the correct answer.

- Option:4, Rs74.40 - Higher than the calculated price.
