- First, calculate the single 35% discount on Rs 3,600:

- Discount amount = 35% of 3,600 = 0.35 * 3,600 = Rs 1,260.

- Price after discount = 3,600 - 1,260 = Rs 2,340.

- Next, calculate the two successive discounts of 30% and 5%:

- First discount = 30% of 3,600 = 0.30 * 3,600 = Rs 1,080.

- Price after first discount = 3,600 - 1,080 = Rs 2,520.

- Second discount = 5% of 2,520 = 0.05 * 2,520 = Rs 126.

- Price after second discount = 2,520 - 126 = Rs 2,394.

- Finally, find the difference between the two final prices:

- Difference = 2,394 - 2,340 = Rs 54.

- Correct Answer: Option 1: 54
