During festivals, a banner on a shop displays, 'Pay for 3 and gets 5'.The discount percentage offered is:

Solution

Let the cost price of 1 article = Rs.10 

Condition given, 

Pay 3 and get 5

    The shopkeeper has to give 5 articles = Rs.50

    The buyer has to pay for 3 article = Rs.30 

    The discount offered is of cost of 2 articles 

    i.e; Rs.20

    Discount % = $$\frac{20}{50}\times\ 100=40\%$$

    Hence, Option C is correct.
