Question

A dozen pairs of gloves quoted at Rs.80 are available at a discount of 10%. Find how many pairs of gloves can be bought for Rs. 24?

• A. $4$
• B. $5$
• C. $6$
• D. $8$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $4$

12pairs of gloves are available at Rs.80
(with $10\%$ discount)
$80\times \frac{90}{100}=\text{Rs.}72$

$\because$ In Rs.72, 12 pairs are available then in $\text{Rs.}1\frac{12}{72}pairs$

$In24\text{Rs.}=\frac{12}{72}\times 24=4$
