Question:

If 1 saree is offered free on purchase of 3 sarees, What is the effective discount on each saree?

Options:

30%

20%

25%

40%

Correct Answer:

25%

Explanation:

As per Shopkeeper, if he gives the offer:

⇒ Selling price of 4 sarees = MRP of 3 sarees

⇒ MRP : S.P. = 4 : 3

Therefore, Discount = 1R on MRP

Hence, Discount percentage = \(\frac{1}{4}\) × 100 = 25%
