D Correct answer
Explanation

Marked price = 6000. After 10% discount, price = 6000 - 600 = 5400. Second discount makes it 4050. Amount of second discount = 5400 - 4050 = 1350. Percentage = (1350 / 5400) * 100 = 25%.

AI explanation

After the first 10% discount on the Rs. 6000 marked price, the price becomes Rs. 5400. The final selling price is Rs. 4050, so the second discount amount is 5400 minus 4050, which equals Rs. 1350. Using the percentage discount formula, the second discount percentage is 1350 divided by 5400 and multiplied by 100, yielding 25%. The result is 25%.
