Detailed Solution

Given that,
The marked price of the necklace = Rs.1200.
During the normal season, the discount rate = 25%.
We know that,

Discount rate = Discount price Marked price × 100 %

⇒ 25 % = Discount price 1200 × 100 % ⇒ Discount price = 25 × 1200 100 ⇒ Discount price = Rs .300

Therefore, the price of the necklace during the normal season =

R s . 1200 − 300 .

= R s .900.

Now, during the off-season, the extra discount rate shopkeeper offered = 30%.

∵ Discount rate = Discount price Marked price × 100 %

⇒ 30 % = Discount price 900 × 100 % ⇒ Discount price = 30 × 900 100 ⇒ Discount price = Rs .270

Therefore, the price of the necklace during the off-season =

R s . 900 − 270 = R s .630.

Hence, option (2) is correct.
