      is 2:1. In a sale, there was a discount of 40% on the belt. At the time of checkout, Ankit noticed that the total discount he got for both the belt and the bag is 30%. What percentage discount did Ankit get on the bag?
      A 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 25% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 30% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the price of bag and belt be Rs. 200 and Rs. 100 respectively. Then, price of both the bag and belt = Rs. 300. After getting 30% discount on the set, Selling price = 300 - 30% of 300 = 210. Total discount on Set = 90. And discount on belt is 40% alone, SP of belt alone = 100 - 40% of 100 = 60. Rs. 40 is the discount on belt then Rs. 50 must be the discount on the bag. So, discount on bag = (50*100)/200 = 25%.
