Correct Answer: B
Solution : For the first condition, We know that two successive discounts of $a$% and $b$% are equivalent to $(a+b-\frac{a×b}{100})\%$ So, two successive discounts of 10% and 15% are equivalent to, $(10+15-\frac{10×15}{100})=23.5$% For the second condition, So, discount = $\frac{7-5}{7}×100=28.57$% So, the scheme which has the maximum discount is B. Hence, the correct answer is B.
