Correct Answer: 4
Solution : (1) A discount of 30%. (2) Two successive discounts of 15% This is equivalent to (15 + 15 – $\frac{15\times 15}{100})$% = 27.75%. (3) Buy 2, get 1 free. The total number of items is 3 and 1 is free. So, discount = $\frac{1}{3} × 100$ = 33.33% (4) Buy 5, get 3 free. The total number of items is 8, and 3 are free. So, the discount is $\frac{3}{8} × 100$ = 37.5% The discount scheme which offers the maximum discount to a customer is (4) Buy 5, get 3 free. Hence, the correct answer is 4.
