A Correct answer
Explanation

Quantity I: Net discount factor = 0.9 * 0.8 = 0.72. Final price = 1600 * 0.72 = Rs 1152. Discount = 1600 - 1152 = Rs 448. Quantity II: Net discount factor = 0.96 * 0.85 * 0.9 = 0.7344. Final price = 1600 * 0.7344 = Rs 1175.04. Discount = 1600 - 1175.04 = Rs 424.96. Since 448 > 424.96, Quantity I > Quantity II is correct.
