A Correct answer
Explanation

Let the first discount be x%. After the first discount, the price is 3200 * (1 - x/100). After a 30% discount, the price is 3200 * (1 - x/100) * 0.7 = 1480. Solving for x: (1 - x/100) = 1480 / (3200 * 0.7) = 1480 / 2240 = 0.6607. Thus, x = 33.93%.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Let CP = 100. Profit = 15.68, so SP = 115.68. Discount = 23.68%. Let MP be the marked price. SP = MP * (1 - 0.2368) = 0.7632 * MP. 115.68 = 0.7632 * MP. MP = 115.68 / 0.7632 = 151.57. Markup = 51.57%.

C Correct answer
Explanation

Let the marked price be 240. After the first discount x, the price is 240(1 - x/100). After a further 26% discount, the price is 240(1 - x/100)(0.74) = 108. Solving for x: (1 - x/100) = 108 / (240 * 0.74) = 108 / 177.6 = 0.6081. Thus, x = 39.19%.

D Correct answer
Explanation

Cost of 2kg of A (35) and 3kg of B (40) = 70 + 120 = 190. Total weight = 5kg. 1/5 of 5kg = 1kg. 1kg sold at 46. Remaining 4kg sold at 55 = 220. Total revenue = 46 + 220 = 266. Profit = 266 - 190 = 76. Profit % = (76/190) * 100 = 40%.
