Correct Answer: 11%
Solution :
Marked price of an item = Rs. 200
Amount saved on buying 1 item = 5% of Rs. 200 = Rs. 10
⇒ Marked price of 2 items = 2 × Rs. 200 = Rs. 400
Amount saved on buying 2 items = 14% of Rs. 400 = Rs. 56
The total amount saved on buying 3 items = (10 + 56) = Rs. 66
The total marked price of 3 items = 3 × Rs. 200 = Rs. 600
Effective discount = $\frac{66}{600}×100$ = 11%
Hence, the correct answer is 11%.
