Option 5 : Either Statement (I) or (III) and statement (II) are required
Statement I and II:
If someone buys 6 articles at marked price, he gets 2 articles free and the profit earned by the shopkeeper is 12.5%
⇒ × 100 = 12.5
⇒ 6MP - 8CP = CP
⇒ 6MP = 9CP
⇒ MP ∶ CP = 9 ∶ 6 = 3 ∶ 2
Statement II and III:
Discount of 25% is provided on marked price. Profit earned by the shopkeeper is 12.5%
⇒ × 100 = 12.5
⇒ 0.75MP = 1.125CP
⇒ MP ∶ CP = 3 ∶ 2
∴ Either Statement (I) or (III) and statement (II) are required to answer the question
