A company offers a buy 2 get 1 free scheme on pens priced at ₹10 each. What is the effective discount percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e.  33131\over3% 

Cost of 3 pens = 2 × 10 = 20

Actual price without offer = 3 × 10 = 30

Discount = 30 − 20 = 10

Discount percentage = (10 ÷ 30) × 100 = 33131\over3%
