SSC CHSL 10th June 2022 Shift-3

- The original price for a dozen pairs of gloves (12 pairs) is quoted at Rs 200.

- A discount of 20% on Rs 200 reduces the cost to Rs 160 (0.8 x 200).

- With Rs 160, you can purchase 12 pairs of gloves.

- Therefore, Rs 320 would buy twice as many pairs, which is 24 pairs (2 x 12).

- Option 1: 20 pairs – Not enough pairs for Rs 320 at discounted rates.

- Option 2: 15 pairs – Fewer pairs than can be bought for Rs 320.

- Option 3: 18 pairs – Again, fewer than should be afforded for Rs 320.

- Option 4: 24 pairs – Correctly represents the number of pairs available for Rs 320.

Correct Answer: Option 4: 24 pairs
