      D 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ, Selling price of the bag = 0.80 Γ— 8000 = Rs. 6400 Let the markup percentage be x% and the discount percentage offered be 2x%. Therefore, Marked price = 8000 + x% of 8000 = Rs. (8000 + 80x) Discount = 2x% of (8000 + 80x) Therefore, selling price = 8000 + 80x – 160x = 6400 Or, x2+ 80x – 1600 = 0 On solving, x = βˆ’160 and 10 Therefore, Discount percentage = 2x = 20%.
