      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let cost price of the article be Rs. 100x Marked price of the article = 1.40 Γ— 100x = Rs. 140x Selling price of the article = 0.70 Γ— 100x = Rs. 70x Overall discount = [(140x – 70x)/140x] Γ— 100 = 50% So, 37.5 + d – {(37.5 Γ— d)/100} = 50 => 0.625d = 12.5 => d = 12.5/0.625 => d = 20
