The marked prices of a shirt and a pair of trousers are in the ratio 1:2. The shopkeeper gives a 40% discount on the shirt. If the total discount on both is 30%, what is the discount percentage on the trousers?
A. 20%
B. 35%
C. 25%
D. 30%
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Let Marked Price of shirt = x and trousers = 2x. Total Marked Price = 3x. Total discount = 30% of 3x = 0.9x. Discount on shirt = 40% of x = 0.4x. Discount on trousers = 0.9x - 0.4x = 0.5x. Percentage discount on trousers = (0.5x / 2x) * 100 = 25%.
