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

• A. 105
• B. 12%
• C. 14%
• D. 16%

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

12%

Let the rate of discount be x%

$\therefore 135-x\%of135=118.80$

$\Rightarrow \frac{x}{100}\times 135=135-118.80$

$\Rightarrow \frac{27x}{20}=16.20$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{16.20\times 20}{27}$

$\Rightarrow x=12$%
