Explanation:

Correct option 3: Rs. 1,260

Selling price after first discount by first dealer = 2000 - 25% of 2000
⇒ 2000 - 500 =1500
Selling price after second discount = 1500 - 15% of 1500
⇒ 1500-225 = 1275
Selling price after first discount by second dealer= 2000 - 10% of 2000
⇒ 2000 - 200 = 1800
Selling price after second discount = 1800-30% of 1800
⇒ 1800-540 = 1260
At Rs.1,260 price is best available.
