An item costs ₹15,000. A customer can choose either a 30% discount or the buy two, get one free offer. Jeevan chose the first offer, and Rakshit chose the second offer. Find the difference in their payment for a single item.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. ₹500.

Discount given to Jeevan = 30% of 15000 = ₹4500

Jeevan's payment = 15000 - 4500 = ₹10500

Rakshit's payment (Buy 2 Get 1 Free):

Total cost for 3 items = 2 × 15000 = ₹30000

Cost per item = 30000330000\over3 = ₹10000

Difference in payment = 10500 - 10000 = ₹500
