      A 5% and 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 15% and 17% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 10% and 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20% and 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Let the Marked price of item A and item B be Rs.100 each.  Given that discount on A is d% and discount on B is (d + 5)% Only from choice (3) we get that answer.  Discount on Item A = 10% of 100 = 10.  SP of A = 100 - 10 = 90 Discount on Item B = 15% of 100 = Rs.15  SP of B = 100 - 15 = 85 The ratio of SP of A & B = 90:85 = 18/17  which satisfies the given condition by taking 10% and 15% discounts on items A and B.
