Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 12%.
Given that
Marked price = Rs.18,000
Selling price = Rs. 15,840
We know that,
Discount = Marked price - Selling price
Discount % = (Discount/Marked price) × 100

Discount = 18000 - 15840 = Rs. 2160
Discount % = 2160 × 100/18000 = 12%
