Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
i) 22\(\frac{2}{9}\)% = \(\frac{2}{9}\),
ii) 14\(\frac{2}{7}\)% = \(\frac{1}{7}\) ,
iii) 6\(\frac{1}{4}\)% = \(\frac{1}{16}\)
Here,
MRP : SP
i) 9 : 7
ii) 7 : 6
iii) 16 : 15

48 : 30 ⇒ 18 (difference)
Therefore, Discount percent = \(\frac{18}{48}\) × 100 = 37.5%
