Match List I (regular price and sale price of an article) with List II (discount as a percentage of the regular price).
| List I (Regular price and sale price) | List II (Discount) |
|---|---|
| (A) Regular price: ₹ 65; Sale price: ₹ 55 | (I) 13.33% |
| (B) Regular price: ₹ 60; Sale price: ₹ 50 | (II) 15.38% |
| (C) Regular price: ₹ 70; Sale price: ₹ 60 | (III) 16.67% |
| (D) Regular price: ₹ 75; Sale price: ₹ 65 | (IV) 14.29% |
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The correct matching is (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I). Discount % = (regular price − sale price) ÷ regular price × 100, and each article here is ₹ 10 cheaper. So A gives 10 ÷ 65 = 15.38%, B gives 10 ÷ 60 = 16.67%, C gives 10 ÷ 70 = 14.29% and D gives 10 ÷ 75 = 13.33%. The same ₹ 10 discount is a smaller percentage on a higher regular price, which rules out pairings that give the ₹ 75 article a larger rate than the ₹ 60 one.
