Given:

Marked price (M.P) = Rs.3600

Concept used:

Discount% = M.P × D%

Effective discount (D) = (D1) + (D2) - (D1 × D2)/100

Calculation:

Discount (D1) = 3600 × 35%

⇒ 36 × 35 = Rs.1260

Effective discount = 30 + 5 - (30 × 5)/100

⇒ 35 - 1.5 = 33.5%

Discount (D2) = 3600 × 33.5% = Rs.1206

Difference between two discount = (1260 - 1206) = Rs.54

∴ The correct answer is Rs.54.
