- The article's marked price is Rs1800.

- Initial 15% discount for the dealer:

- Discount amount = 15% of 1800 = 0.15 × 1800 = Rs270.

- Dealer's price after discount = 1800 - 270 = Rs1530.

- Dealer gets an additional 8% cash discount:

- Cash discount amount = 8% of 1530 = 0.08 × 1530 = Rs122.4.

- Net amount paid by the dealer = 1530 - 122.4 = Rs1407.6, rounded to Rs1408.

Correct Answer: Option 2 - 1,408
