Correct Answer - Option 5 : None of the above
Calculation:
Let the marked price of the jeans be Rs. 200.
Then the marked price of the shirt will be Rs. 300.
Discounted price of Jeans = 200 × 60/100
⇒ 120
Let the discounted price of the shirt be x.
According to the question,
⇒ 120 + x = 60/100 × (200 + 300)
⇒ 120 + x = 300
⇒ x = 180
Discounted offered on the Shirt
⇒ (300 - 180)/300 × 100
⇒ 40%
If the overall discount is 40% and the discount on one part is also 40% then naturally the discount on the second part is also 40%.
