The correct Answer is:
To determine who among Anjali, Bhoomika, and Chawla received the maximum discount on their rings, we will calculate the effective discount for each person based on the successive discounts they availed. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate Anjali's Effective Discount:** - Anjali availed discounts of 5% and 20%. - The effective discount can be calculated using the formula for successive discounts: \[ \text{Effective Discount} = 1 - (1 - d_1)(1 - d_2) \] where \(d_1\) and \(d_2\) are the discounts in decimal form. - Convert the percentages to decimals: - \(d_1 = 5\% = 0.05\) - \(d_2 = 20\% = 0.20\) - Substitute into the formula: \[ \text{Effective Discount} = 1 - (1 - 0.05)(1 - 0.20) = 1 - (0.95)(0.80) = 1 - 0.76 = 0.24 \] - Convert back to percentage: \[ \text{Effective Discount} = 0.24 \times 100 = 24\% \] 2. **Calculate Bhoomika's Effective Discount:** - Bhoomika availed discounts of 10% and 15%. - Convert the percentages to decimals: - \(d_1 = 10\% = 0.10\) - \(d_2 = 15\% = 0.15\) - Substitute into the formula: \[ \text{Effective Discount} = 1 - (1 - 0.10)(1 - 0.15) = 1 - (0.90)(0.85) = 1 - 0.765 = 0.235 \] - Convert back to percentage: \[ \text{Effective Discount} = 0.235 \times 100 = 23.5\% \] 3. **Calculate Chawla's Effective Discount:** - Chawla availed discounts of 12% and 13%. - Convert the percentages to decimals: - \(d_1 = 12\% = 0.12\) - \(d_2 = 13\% = 0.13\) - Substitute into the formula: \[ \text{Effective Discount} = 1 - (1 - 0.12)(1 - 0.13) = 1 - (0.88)(0.87) = 1 - 0.7656 = 0.2344 \] - Convert back to percentage: \[ \text{Effective Discount} = 0.2344 \times 100 = 23.44\% \] 4. **Compare the Discounts:** - Anjali's discount: 24% - Bhoomika's discount: 23.5% - Chawla's discount: 23.44% - The maximum discount is 24% availed by Anjali. ### Conclusion: Anjali received the maximum possible discount of **24%**.
