B Correct answer
Explanation

The Titan selling price is 1500 × 0.8 × 0.9 × 0.95 = Rs 1026. The Ajanta selling price is 2000 × 0.8 × 0.8 × 0.9 = Rs 1152. Their difference is Rs 126, so option B is correct.

AI explanation

Using the successive discount formula, the selling price of the Titan watch is 1500 multiplied by 0.80, 0.90, and 0.95, which equals Rs. 1026. The selling price of the Ajanta watch is 2000 multiplied by 0.80, 0.80, and 0.90, which equals Rs. 1152. The difference between their selling prices is 1152 minus 1026, resulting in Rs. 126.
