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%.
