Explanation:
- Marked price of the shirt = Rs 1,200.
- First, a 25% discount is given:
25% of 1,200 = 300
Price after first discount = 1,200 - 300 = Rs 900
- Then, a 20% discount on Rs 900:
20% of 900 = 180
Price after second discount = 900 - 180 = Rs 720
Option:1, Rs 660
Option:2, Rs 640
Option:3, Rs 720
Option:4, Rs 680
The correct answer is:
