iii

Here’s an analysis of each option:

- Successive discounts of 25% and 25% (Option 3): This totals to a single discount of 43.75%—not simply 50%—due to compounded discounting.

- Flat discount of 40% (Option 2): Straightforward 40% off the original price.

- Buy one, get one free (Option 1): Effectively a 50% discount if you need exactly two items. This depends on the quantity you want to purchase.

- Successive discounts of 30% and 20% (Option 4): This results in a 44% total discount after compounding.

Considering the above, the most beneficial option generally is Buy one, get one free if you are purchasing two items.

The correct answer is Option: 1, iii.
