20%
1632тАЛ%

17.5%
1632тАЛ%
In a 'Buy X, Get Y free' (or Buy X, Get (X+Y) total) scheme, the number of free items is 1 (since 5 bought + 1 free = 6 total), and total items received is 6. Thus, Discount percentage = (1/6)├Ч100%=1632тАЛ%.
A scheme like 'Buy 5, Get 6' on the same kind of articles with the same marked price.
\text{Discount \%} = \left(\frac{\text{Free Articles}}{\text{Total Articles}}\) \times 100
In a 'Buy X, Get Y free' (or Buy X, Get (X+Y) total) scheme, the number of free items is 1 (since 5 bought + 1 free = 6 total), and total items received is 6. Thus, Discount percentage = (1/6)├Ч100%=1632тАЛ%.
Students often divide the free items by the number of purchased articles (5) instead of the total articles received (6), resulting in an incorrect 20% discount.
Identify Quantities
According to the scheme 'Buy 5, Get 6', a customer pays for 5 articles and receives 6 articles in total.
Paid=5,Total=6
Determine Free Articles
The number of free articles received by the customer is the difference between total articles and paid articles.
Free┬аArticles=6тИТ5=1
Apply Discount Formula
Discount percentage is calculated as the ratio of free articles to the total articles received multiplied by 100.
Discount┬а%=(61тАЛ)├Ч100=1632тАЛ%
B is correct because the scheme offers 1 free article out of 6 total articles, resulting in a discount percentage of 1632тАЛ%.
Free item schemes are frequently tested in Profit & Loss and Discount sections of competitive exams. Always divide free items by the total items received to avoid common traps.
