- 5%
- 6%
- 7%
- 8%
Correct Option: C
As per the given in question ,
SP of scooter = ₹ 36,000 , discount = 7%
| Discount on ₹ 36000 = | = ₹ 2520 | |
| 100 |
| Discount on first ₹ 20,000 = | = ₹ 1600 | |
| 100 |
| Discount on next ₹ 10,000 = | = ₹ 500 | |
| 100 |
∴ Discount on remaining ₹ 6,000 = 2520 – (1600 + 500) = ₹ 420
| ∴ Required percent = | = 7% | |
| 6000 |
