Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 25% Given: Marked price of tunic and jeans = 1 : 2 Discount on tunic = 40% Total discount = 30% Concept used: S.P = M.P × (100 – D%)/100 Calculations: Let the Marked Price of tunic be x Let the Marked Price of jeans be 2x. Let the discount on jeans be y% According to the question ⇒ (60/100) × x + ((100 – y)/100) × 2x = (70/100) × (x + 2x) ⇒ (3x/5) + (100 – y)x/50 = 21x/10 ⇒ (100 – y)x/50 = 3x/2 ⇒ (100 – y) = 75 ⇒ y = 100 – 75 ⇒ y = 25% ∴ The discount on jeans is 25%. |
