    A company offers three types of successive discounts
    (i) 25% and 15%
    (ii) 30% and 10%
    (iii) 35% and 5%.
    Which offer is the best for a customer?       

    A) First offer   

    B)                                           Second offer     

    C)                              Third offer   

    D)                                    Anyone, all are equally good    

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

       
    First Type
    Equivalent discount \[=\left( 25+15-\frac{25\times 15}{100} \right)%\]
    \[=(40-3.75)%=36.25%\]
    Second Type             
    Equivalent discount \[=\left( 30+10-\frac{30\times 100}{100} \right)%\]
    \[=(40-3)%=37%\]
    Third Type
    Equivalent discount \[=\left( 35+5-\frac{35\times 5}{100} \right)%\]
    \[=(40-1.75)%=38.25%\]
    Clearly, third offer is best for a customer.
