Question 1
Four customers used four different discount coupons for their respective transactions in such a way that they obtained a total discount of Rs. 710. Which coupon was definitely NOT used?
Four customers used four different discount coupons for their respective transactions in such a way that nobody used any discount coupon sub-optimally. (A discount coupon is used suboptimally if using another discount coupon could have resulted in a higher discount for the same transaction.) What is the minimum possible total amount of their four transactions?
A family wanted to purchase four products worth Rs. 1000 each, and another product worth Rs. 300.
They were told that they could:
I) pay for the five products through one or more transactions in any way they wanted, as long as the purchase amount of any one product would not get split into different transactions, and
II) use the same discount coupon repeatedly for separate transactions, if they opt for more than one transaction.
What was the maximum discount that they could obtain for their purchase?
