      C 2:1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 1:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      % Discount in getting free items (a) = (free items/ total items) x 100 = [5/(5+15)] x 100 = 25% Next % discount (b) = 20 So net discount(%) = a+b -(ab/100) = 25 + 20 - (25 x 20)/100 = 40% CP MRP (100 - D) (100 + P%) (100 - 40) : (100+20) 6 0 : 120 1 : 2
