(B) Let the Marked Price $(M.P)$ be $Rs. 100$.First discount of $50 \%$ means the price becomes $100 - (50 \% \text{ of } 100) = Rs. 50$.Second discount of $10 \%$ is applied on the remaining price $(Rs. 50)$: $10 \% \text{ of } 50 = Rs. 5$.Final Selling Price $(S.P)$ $= 50 - 5 = Rs. 45$.Net discount $= M.P - S.P = 100 - 45 = Rs. 55$.Therefore,the net discount percentage is $\frac{55}{100} \times 100 = 55 \%$.
