Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 30%
Let marked price of a chair and a table are be 2x and 3x
A/C to question
2x × 80% + 3x × (100 - A)% = (2x + 3x) × 74%
160x/100 + 3x × (100 - A)/100 =370x/100
{160x + 3x × (100 - A)}/100 = 370x/100
3x × (100 - A) = 370x - 160x
100 - A = 210x/3x
100 - 70 = A
A = 30%
