oil= 80*1=80
cream= 120*0.5=60
he will use max discount for max price i.e. milk
for max benefit of rajneesh,
70%100+80%80+90%60
(taking discounts as 30% on milk, 20% on oil and 10% on cream)

For obtaining maximum discount Rajneesh will apply maximum discount rate on maximum priced item.
So 5 lit of milk = 100/- will get 30% discount = 70/-
1 lit of oil = 80/- will get 20% discount = 64/-
and 0.5 lit of cream = 60/- will get 10% discount = 54/-
Therefore total expenditure =188/-
So option 5

ram chandra   9 years AGO

milk amount is 20*5 is 100
lly oil is 80*1 is 80
ice cream is 120*0.5 is 60
so Max discount on milk is 30 and it is 30 Rs
lly discount on oil is 20 and it is 16 Rs
discount on ice cream is 10 and it is 6 Rs
therefore total amount he will pay is
(100-30)+(80-16)+(60-6)=188

Sumit Kumar   9 years AGO

without any discount rajneesh pays (100 + 80 + 60) =240
for max profit, he should opt for max discount in the item of max value and least discount on least expensive(as per his need).
So he pays (70 + 64 + 54) = 188

Before discount, total price of the items purchased is as follows:

Milk - Rs.100/-
Oil - Rs.80/-
Cream - Rs.60/-.

In order to get maximum profit, Rajneesh should use discount rates in the same order as the total prices of the items i.e. he should use 30% discount for purchase of Milk whose total is maximum (Rs.100/-).

Therefore, Price of the items after discount are as follow:
Item (Total Price) ----- Discount rate ---- Price after discount
Milk (100) ------ 30% ----- 70
Oil (80) ------ 20% ----- 64
Cream (60) ------- 10% ----- 54

Total (240) -------------------------------- 188

Hence, Rajneesh will use 30% discount in MILK and will pay Rs.188/- to the shopkeeper.

sanjeet kumar   9 years AGO

cost of milk(5L)=100
cost of oil(1L)=80
cost of cream(1/2L)=60

for taking a max discount he has to take
30% dis for milk=(100*30)/100=30
20% dis for Oil=(80*20)/100=16
10% dis for cream=(60*10)/100=6

total dis= 30+16+6=52
total price=100+80+60=240
Total Amount paid=240-52=188
