Question

One dozen notebooks quoted at Rs. 125 are available at 20% discount. How many notebooks can be bought for Rs. 75?
1. 10
2. 6
3. 8
4. 9

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 4 : 9

Given:

Discount % = 20%

Calculation:

Marked price of 12 notebooks = Rs.125

Selling price of 12 notebooks = 125 × 80/100 = Rs.100

Selling price of a notebook = 100/12 = Rs.25/3

∴ Number of notebooks bought for Rs.75 = 75 × 3/25 = 9
