SSC CHSL - 01 July 2024 - Shift 4 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q68

One company is offering a 25% discount on a particular product. Anurag visited a store. He was trying to find a deal that would allow him to save at least Rs. 390. How many minimum items should he purchase if each item costs Rs. 340?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 5.

Given that

Cost = 340

Cost Price = Selling Price × 100/(100 - loss %)

Selling price = Marked price × (100 - discount%)/100

Discount = 25100\frac{25}{100} × 340 = 85

To save at least Rs 390, he would need to buy minimum = 39085\frac{390}{85} = 4.58

Hence, the minimum items he should purchase is 5.
