Solution (By Examveda Team)

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Total discount by A}} \cr & = 20000 \times \frac{8}{{100}} + 16000 \times \frac{5}{{100}} \cr & = 1600 + 800 \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 2400}} \cr & {\text{Selling price of A}} \cr & = 36000 - 2400 \cr & = {\text{Rs}}.33600 \cr & {\text{Selling price of B}} \cr & = 36000 \times \frac{{100 - 7}}{{100}} \cr & = 36000 \times \frac{{93}}{{100}} \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 33480}} \cr} $$
