Rs15,500

Rs15,000

Rs14,000

Rs16,500

- A single discount of 35% on Rs10,00,000 results in a reduction of Rs3,50,000. So, the final price is Rs6,50,000.

- Two successive discounts of 30% and then 5%:

- A 30% discount on Rs10,00,000 reduces it by Rs3,00,000, resulting in Rs7,00,000.

- A 5% discount on Rs7,00,000 reduces it by Rs35,000, resulting in Rs6,65,000.

- The difference between the single 35% discount and the successive 30% and 5% discounts is Rs15,000 (Rs6,65,000 minus Rs6,50,000).

- Thus, the correct answer is Option 2: Rs15,000 .
