(c); Net price after two discounts=80% of 90% of Rs. 10000=Rs. 7200.
Net C.P.=(7200+10% of Rs. 7200)=7920.
Therefore, S.P. =110% of Rs. 7920=Rs. 8712.

first it says he gets 10% discount=10%*10000=1000
now the cp is=10000-1000=9000.
again he gets a discoun of 20%=20%*9000=1800
now the actual cp after dicounts is=9000-1800=7200
transportation chrges=10%*7200=720
tottal money he spend=7200+720=7920
to earn 10%profit,10%*7920=792
selling price=7920
+792=8712
