Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : Profit% = $\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Selling Price}}\times 100$ If one is buying 12 coconuts, he's getting another 3 for free. Total coconuts purchased = 12 + 3 = 15 Now, Discount % = $\frac{3\times 25}{15\times25}\times 100$% = 20% ∴ The effective discount is 20%. Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
