B Correct answer
Explanation

After the first 10% discount: 2500 x 0.90 = 2250. The 5% cash discount gives 2250 x 0.95 = 2137.50. Adding 10% sales tax: 2137.50 x 1.10 = 2351.25.

AI explanation

Apply the first discount by subtracting 10% of 2500 from 2500, which brings the price to Rs. 2250. Then apply the successive 5% cash discount on Rs. 2250 to get a reduced sales price of Rs. 2137.50. Finally, add the 10% sales tax to this sales price by calculating 2137.50 plus 10% of 2137.50, which equals Rs. 2351.25.
