- The list price of the article is Rs720.

- The first discount is 20%. Calculate 20% of Rs720:

\(720 \times \frac{20}{100} = 144\)

- After the first discount, the price is:

\(720 - 144 = 576\)

- The second discount is 10%. Calculate 10% of Rs576:

\(576 \times \frac{10}{100} = 57.6\)

- After the second discount, the price is:

\(576 - 57.6 = 518.4\)

- The total discount is:

\(720 - 518.4 = 201.6\)

Option 3, Rs201.6, is the correct answer.
