Solution

The correct option is C 7%
Discount on Rs.36000 at 7% = $\frac{7}{100} \times R s .36000 = R s .2520$
Discount on Rs.20000 at 8% $\frac{8}{100} \times R s .20000 = R s .1600$
Discount on Rs.10000 at 5% $\frac{5}{100} \times R s .10000 = R s .500$
$∴$ Discount on remaining $R s .6000 = R s .2520 - R s . (1600 + 500) = R s .2520 - R s .2100 = R s .420$
$∴$ Discount % $= \frac{420}{6000} \times 100 = 7$
