- The marked price of the watch is Rs 96,000.

- The first discount given was 12%.

- Calculating the first discount: 12% of 96,000 is Rs 11,520.

- Subtracting the first discount, the price becomes Rs 84,480.

- The man bought the watch for Rs 67,584.

- The second discount means reducing Rs 84,480 to Rs 67,584.

- Let’s calculate the second discount percentage:

- Discount amount = 84,480 - 67,584 = Rs 16,896.

- Second discount percentage = (16,896/84,480) * 100 ˜ 20%.

- Based on the options, Option 1: 20% is the correct answer.
