Correct Answer: A
Solution : Let the value of each item be 1. A) Buy 3 get 4 free. Discount percentage = $\frac{\text{Number of free articles}}{\text{Number of paid articles + Number of free articles}}$ × 100% The discount percentage = $\frac{4}{4+3}\times 100=\frac{4}{7}\times 100 = 57.14\%$ B) Buy 5 get 6 free. The discount percentage = $\frac{6}{5+6}\times 100 =\frac{6}{11}\times 100 = 54.55\%$ So, A offers a higher discount percentage than Scheme B. Hence, the correct answer is A.
