Q39 2019, Profit, Loss and Discount

Rakesh had money to buy 8 mobile handsets of a specific company. But the retailer offered very good discount on that particular handset. Rakesh could buy 10 mobile handsets with the amount he had. What was the discount the retailer offered?

राकेश के पास एक विशिष्ट कंपनी के 8 मोबाइल हैंडसेट खरीदने के लिए धनराशि थी। लेकिन खुदरा व्यापारी ने उस खास हैंडसेट पर बहुत अच्छी छूट का प्रस्ताव दिया। राकेश अपने पास की धनराशि से 10 मोबाइल हैंडसेट खरीद सका। खुदरा व्यापारी द्वारा प्रस्तावित छूट कितनी थी ?

• Discount = Marked Price – Selling Price. Let the Marked Price of 10 articles = Rs. 100.

• So, Marked Price of 8 articles = Rs. 80. (so each was marked at Rs.10)

• So, as per the question, Rakesh purchased 10 mobile phones for Rs. 80

• Thus, he got an overall discount of Rs. 20.

• So, discount% is 20%
