    A 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 30% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The ratio of the marked price of the pen and pencil=5:6 So let the mark price of pen =500 Rs. and pencil =600 Rs. 10% discount on the pen =500×10/100=50Rs. 15% discount on (pen + pencil) =500+600=1100×10/100 =110Rs. Now discount on pencil =110-50=60 Discount % on the pencil = (60/600) ×100 =10%
