Marked Price of Car = Rs. 300000

After successive discounts of 10% and 7.5%,

Sell Price = Rs. 300000 × (0.9) × 0.925 = Rs. 249750

Cost price for the person = Rs. 249750

∴ Sell price for the person = Rs. 254745

Profit = Rs. (254745 - 249750) = Rs. 4995

$(\therefore {\rm{Profit\% }} = {\rm{}}\frac{{4995}}{{249750}} \times 100 = 2\% )$
