- Start with the original price of the microwave, which is Rs 15,485.

- First, apply a 40% reduction:

\text{New Price} = 15,485 \times (1 - 0.40) = 9,291

- Then, apply a further 25% discount on the reduced price:

\text{Final Price} = 9,291 \times (1 - 0.25) = 6,968.25

- Round this amount to the nearest rupee which gives Rs 6,968.

- The correct option is Option 1: 6,968.
