- The first dealer offers discounts of 10% and then 15%.

- First discount: 10% of Rs3,000 = Rs300.

- Price after first discount = Rs3,000 - Rs300 = Rs2,700.

- Second discount: 15% of Rs2,700 = Rs405.

- Final price for the first dealer = Rs2,700 - Rs405 = Rs2,295.

- The second dealer offers discounts of 20% and then 5%.

- First discount: 20% of Rs3,000 = Rs600.

- Price after first discount = Rs3,000 - Rs600 = Rs2,400.

- Second discount: 5% of Rs2,400 = Rs120.

- Final price for the second dealer = Rs2,400 - Rs120 = Rs2,280.

- Difference in the selling prices = Rs2,295 - Rs2,280 = Rs15.

- Correct Answer: Option 1 - Rs15
