Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Final price in 1st case= 70% of 90% of 90% of Rs. 10000
$$\eqalign{ & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {\frac{{70}}{{100}} \times \frac{{90}}{{100}} \times \frac{{90}}{{100}} \times 10000} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 5670}}{\text{}} \cr} $$
Final price in 2nd case
= 95% of 95% of 60% of Rs. 10000
$$\eqalign{ & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {\frac{{95}}{{100}} \times \frac{{95}}{{100}} \times \frac{{60}}{{100}} \times 10000} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. 5415}}{\text{}} \cr} $$
∴ Money saved by choosing the better offer
= Rs. (5670 - 5415)
= Rs. 255
