    B 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Let the marked price of each article be Rs. 'a'. Marked price of 6 articles = 6 × a = Rs. '6a' Selling price of 8 articles (since 2 articles are free) = 6a Selling price of 1 article = 6a / 8 = Rs. (3/4)a Discount per article = a - (3/4)a = (1/4)a Discount percentage = [(1/4)a / a] × 100 = 25%
