1500 * 15% = 225
1500 - 225 = 1275
1275 * 15% = 255
1275 - 255 = 1020
1020 * 15% = 255
1020 - 225 = 765

market price of good is 1500
initial discount is 15%=225
now the new price will be 1500-225=1275
Discount now is 20%..so new price will be 1275-255=1020
Discount now is 25%..so new price will be 1020-255=765
So option 8

15% of 1500=15/100*1500=225
so,1500-225=Rs.1275
20% of 1275=20/100*1275=255
so,1275-255=Rs.1020
25% of 1020=25/100*1020=255
so,1020-255=Rs.765

Market price is Rs.1500. on which shopkeeper gives 15% off means Rs.225 so 1500-225=1275. Now again shopkeeper gives 20 off on new price means 20% on 1275 = 255. So 1275-255=1020. Shopkeeper again give 25% off no new price means 25% on 1020 i.e. Rs.255 so 1020-255=765.

so finally we have to pay Rs.765 only.

M.P=1500, first discount 15% therefore 1500*15/100=225 as it is discount,subtract 225 from 1500.(1500-225=1275).
new price is 1275...20% discount= 1275*20/100=255.Again subtract it. therefore 1275-255=1020. repeat the process for 25%..Answer will be 765 i.e option 8
