Question

A man A sells an article at a discount of 45%. The other man B who kept the discount rate as 27% initially, then thoughtfully added an extra discount of 18% on the discounted price. Given that the quality of the articles is same, whose article will be sold soon.

• A. A
• B. B
• C. A and B
• D. Can't say

Answer 1

The correct option is A

A

Let the original cost price of the article be Rs. x
Selling price offered by man A =Rs 0.55 x
Selling price after 27% discount by man B =Rs 0.73x
Further discount offered by man B = 0.18 x 0.73x
= Rs. 0.1314x
Selling price offered by man B = Rs .5986x
The selling price offered by man A is less than man B, so man A will get his article sold soon.
