Question 83

If 2 pair of trouser is offered free on purchase of 3 pair of trousers priced Rs 900 each what is the effective discount on each pair of trouser?

Solution

Cost price of 1 trouser = Rs. 900

Cost price of 5 trousers = $$5 \times 900 = Rs. 4,500$$

If 2 trousers are offered free on purchase of 3 trousers, => Cost of 3 trousers = $$3 \times 900 = Rs. 2,700$$

=> Effective discount = $$\frac{4500 - 2700}{4500} \times 100$$

= $$\frac{1800}{45} = \frac{200}{5} = 40\%$$

=> Ans - (A)
