Question

An article marked at Rs 135 is sold for Rs 118.80. Then the rate of discount offered is

• A. 10%
• B. 12%
• C. 14%
• D. 16%

Answer 1

The correct option is B 12%

$\Rightarrow$ Marked price of article is $Rs.135$.

$\Rightarrow$ Selling price of article is $Rs.118.80$

$\Rightarrow$ Price of article after discount = Marked price of article - Selling price of article = $Rs.135-Rs.118.8=Rs16.2$

$\Rightarrow$ Rate of discount = $\frac{16.2}{135}\times 100=12\%$
