A bread merchant declares a 15% discount after 8 P.M. Ana goes before 8 P.M. with Rs.50 in her pocket to buy 3 pieces of bread and got some change. Tom goes after 8 P.M. with Rs.40. How many pieces of bread can Tom buy at the most?  Choose the correct choice from the following:
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
E) 5
At the most, a piece of bread costs 50/3 = 16.67 before 8 P.M.   After 8 P.M., each piece of bread will now cost (1 - 15%) * 16.67 = 0.85 * 16.67 = 14.17   Since Tom has Rs.40, 40 / 14.17 = 2.82   Since you cannot buy half pieces of bread, at the most, Tom can buy 2 pieces of bread after 8 P.M.   Correct Option: 2
