      article is Rs. 120. Find the discount (in %) given on the article such that the difference between the cost price and selling price of the article is Rs. 4.
      A 20 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 40/3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Both 1 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Both 1 and 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Marked price = Rs. 120
      Cost price = 5/6 x 120 = Rs. 100
      Difference between cost price and selling price = Rs. 4
      Therefore, selling price = Rs. 104 or Rs. 96
      Case 1: selling price = Rs.104
      Discount % = (120-104)/120 x 100 = (40/3) %
      Case 2: selling price = Rs. 96
      Discount % = (120-96)/120 x 100 = 20%
