B Correct answer
Explanation

First discount of 20% on 700: 700 * 0.8 = 560. Second discount of 40% on 560: 560 * 0.6 = 336.

AI explanation

To find the selling price after two successive discounts, calculate the final value by multiplying the marked price by (100 percent minus the first discount) and then by (100 percent minus the second discount). Using the given numbers, the selling price equals 700 rupees multiplied by 80 percent and then by 60 percent. This simplifies to 700 multiplied by 0.48, resulting in a selling price of 336 rupees.
