Correct Answer: 36%
Solution : Marked price of an item = Rs. 900 ⇒ Marked price of 2 items = 2 × Rs. 900 = Rs. 1,800 Amount saved on buying 2 items = 16% of Rs. 1,800 = Rs. 288 ⇒ Marked price of 5 items = 5 × Rs. 900 = Rs. 4,500 Amount saved on buying 5 items = 44% of Rs. 4,500 = Rs. 1980 The total amount saved on buying 7 items = 288 + 1980 = Rs. 2,268 Total marked price of 7 items = 7 × Rs. 900 = Rs. 6,300 Effective discount = $\frac{2268}{6300}×100$ = 36% Hence, the correct answer is 36%.
