    D 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Selling price of the article = Rs. 642.6 Overall discount % = {(840 – 642.6)/840} × 100 = 23.5% So, 10 + d – 10d/100 = 23.5 10 + d – 0.1d = 23.5 0.9d = 13.5 d = 15 So, the value of ‘d’ = 15%
