A.

27 2/3 %

B.

27 1/3 %

C.

33 2/3 %

D.

33 1/3 %

Correct option is D

Given:
Price of 1 pen = ₹10
Buy 2 pens and get 1 pen free.
Formula Used:
Effective Discount Percentage=(DiscountTotal Cost Without Discount)×100\text{Effective Discount Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Total Cost Without Discount}} \right) \times 100​​
Solution:

Discount = ₹10 (1 pen free)
Effective discount percentage =1030\frac{10}{30}​ × 100
Effective discount percentage = 33 13\frac 13​%
