Ques - Pepsi and Coke, there are two companies, selling the packs of cold - drinks. For the same selling price Pepsi gives two successive discounts of 10% and 25%. While Coke sells it by giving two successive discounts of 15% and 20%. What is the ratio of their marked price?
(a) 143 : 144
(b) 19 : 11
(c) 136 : 135
(d) 73 : 77
Solution -
Let,
The MP of Pepsi = P
Pepsi gives two successive discounts of 10% and 25%.
SP of Pepsi = P × (90/100) × (75/100)
= P × 0.9 × 0.75
The MP of Coke = C
Coke sells it by giving two successive discounts of 15% and 20%.
SP of Coke = C × (85/100) × (80/100)
= C × 0.85 × 0.8
SP of Pepsi and Coke is same.
SP of Pepsi = SP of Coke
P × 0.9 × 0.75 = C × 0.85 × 0.8
P / C = 136 / 135
Therefore,
The ratio of their marked price is 136 : 135.
Hence,
The correct answer is option (c) 136 : 135.
