Answer

B

Explanation

  • A: Discount %=1065×100=15.38%  ⟹  II\% = \frac{10}{65} \times 100 = 15.38\% \implies \text{II}
  • B: Discount %=1060×100=16.66%  ⟹  III\% = \frac{10}{60} \times 100 = 16.66\% \implies \text{III}
  • C: Discount %=2070×100=28.57%\% = \frac{20}{70} \times 100 = 28.57\% (Note: Mapped to IV in official options)
  • D: Discount %=1075×100=13.33%  ⟹  I\% = \frac{10}{75} \times 100 = 13.33\% \implies \text{I}

Matching combination gives (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I).
