If A decides to give a discount of 12.5% on each laptop sold, and the marked price of each laptop is Rs 36,000, calculate the total discount given by A. Read the following pie chart carefully and answer the questions given below. The following pie chart shows the percentage distribution of laptops sold by four persons A, B, C and D.

The correct option is Rs 1,35,000.

Step 1: Analyze the given pie chart data.
From the pie chart shown in the image, we observe the following details:
• Total number of laptops sold = 150
• Percentage of laptops sold by B = 30%
• Percentage of laptops sold by C = 12%
• Percentage of laptops sold by D = 38%

Step 2: Determine the percentage of laptops sold by person A.
The total distribution in the pie chart equals 100%. Therefore, the percentage sold by A is:

$\text{Percentage sold by A}=100\%-(30\%+12\%+38\%)$

$\text{Percentage sold by A}=100\%-80\%=20\%$

Step 3: Calculate the number of laptops sold by person A.

$\text{Number of laptops sold by A}=20\%\text{of}150$

$\text{Number of laptops sold by A}=\frac{20}{100}\times 150=30$

Step 4: Calculate the discount amount on each laptop.
Given:
• Marked Price (MP) of each laptop = Rs 36,000
• Discount percentage = 12.5%

$\text{Discount per laptop}=12.5\%\text{of}36000$

$\text{Discount per laptop}=\frac{12.5}{100}\times 36000=\frac{1}{8}\times 36000=\text{Rs}4500$

Step 5: Calculate the total discount offered by A.

$\text{Total discount}=\text{Number of laptops sold by A}\times \text{Discount per laptop}$

$\text{Total discount}=30\times 4500=\text{Rs}135000$

Thus, the total discount given by A is Rs 1,35,000.
