D. Rs. 242.25

Answer

To find the selling price of a chair listed at Rs. 350 with successive discounts of 25% and 10%, we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the first discount (25%)
1. The listed price (MP) of the chair is Rs. 350.
2. The first discount is 25% of Rs. 350.
3. To calculate the discount amount:
\[ \text{Discount Amount} = \text{MP} \times \frac{25}{100} = 350 \times 0.25 = 87.5 \]
4. Subtract the discount from the listed price to find the new price after the first discount:
\[ \text{Price after 1st discount} = 350 - 87.5 = 262.5 \]

### Step 2: Calculate the second discount (10%)
1. Now, apply the second discount of 10% on the new price (Rs. 262.5).
2. To calculate the discount amount:
\[ \text{Discount Amount} = \text{New Price} \times \frac{10}{100} = 262.5 \times 0.10 = 26.25 \]
3. Subtract this discount from the price after the first discount to find the final selling price:
\[ \text{Selling Price} = 262.5 - 26.25 = 236.25 \]

### Final Answer
The selling price of the chair is **Rs. 236.25**.
