A shopkeeper sells a dozen pair of socks whose marked price is ₹600 at 20% discount. How many pairs of socks can be bought for ₹320?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 8.

Marked price of 12 pairs = ₹600
Selling price = ₹600 × 80% = ₹480
Price per pair = ₹480 ÷ 12 = ₹40

Pairs for ₹320 = ₹320 ÷ ₹40 = 8
