Option 1: 4
Option 2: 5
Option 3: 3
Option 4: 6
Correct Answer: 4
Solution :
Given: A dozen pairs of socks quoted at Rs. 80 are available at a discount of 10%.
So, selling price is $80×\frac{90}{100}=72$
A dozen pairs of socks sold at Rs. 72.
Price of 1 pair is $\frac{72}{12}=Rs. 6$
So, in Rs. 24, he gets $\frac{24}{6}=4$ pairs
Hence, the correct answer is 4 pairs.
