There is 16 percent discount on a dozen pairs of trousers marked at Rs. 5000. How many pair of trousers can be bought with Rs. 2100?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 6.
Thus, according to the question, we know that 12 pairs of trousers are sold at Rs. 5000 with a 16% discount.
Thus we are selling 12 pairs of jeans at:-
⇒ 5000 - (5000)(16%)
⇒ Rs 4,200
Thus if 12 pairs cost Rs. 4,200, then 1 pair will cost:-
⇒ 4,200/12
⇒ Rs.350
Thus each pair costs Rs, 350.
Thus if we pay Rs. 2,100 for this, then
⇒ No. of pairs = 2100/350
= 6
Thus, the person will be able to buy 6 pairs in Rs.2,100.
