Question



The cost price of article A is 50P and that of article B is 15P. The marked price of A and B is 20% and 60% more than the cost price, respectively. If the profit percentage on A and B is 10% and 20%, respectively, then, find the overall discount percentage(approx.).

A.

13%

B.

20%

C.

30%

D.

25%

E.

32%

Correct option is A


Cost price of A = 50P
Marked price of A = 120/100×50P = 60P
Selling price of A = 110/100×50P = 55P
Cost price of B = 15P
Marked price of A = 160/100×15P = 24P
Selling price of A = 120/100×15P = 18P
Total discount = (60P-55P)+(24P-18P)= 11P
Required percentage = 11P/(60P+24P)×100=13.09%= 13%(approx.)
