III The Cost price and Marked price of an item is same for both of them Correct Answer I, II and III are sufficient
Let the marked price of an article be Rs. x
Statement I
Equivalent discount of Preeti = 100 – 100 × (1 – 5%) × (1 – 6%) × (1 – 7%)
⇒ 100 – 100 × 95% × 94% ×93%
⇒ 17%
Statement II
Equivalent discount of Raghav
⇒ 100 – 100 × (1 – 10%) × (1 – 15%)
⇒ 23.5%
Statement III
If the Cost price and the marked price is same, so from statement I and II Raghav gives maximum discount.
∴ I, II and III are sufficient to answer the question.
