C. Two successive discounts of 18% and 24%
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Only B.
Discount on A: 4/10 × 100 = 40%
Discount on B: 5/10 × 100 = 50%
Discount on C: Successive discount = x + y + xy/100
here x = 18 and y = 24
⇒ -18 - 24 + 432/100
⇒ -42 + 4.32 = 37.68% [negative sign shows discount]
Thus, Shopkeeper offers the maximum discount In Scheme B
