Correct Answer: 33.33 percent
Solution : Given: The ratio of trousers and jackets is 1 : 3. Let the marked price of trousers be Rs. 100 and the Jacket be Rs. 300. Total marked price = 100 + 300 = Rs. 400 Discount on trouser = 20% = $\frac{20}{100}×100$ = Rs. 20 Overall discount = 30% of 400 = $\frac{30}{100}×400$ = 120 Discount on jacket = overall discount – discount on trousers = 120 – 20 = 100 Required discount % on jacket = $\frac{\text{Discount on jacket}}{\text{Marked price of jacket}}×100$ = $\frac{100}{300}×100$ = $33.33\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 33.33 percent.
