Step-by-Step Solution

She pays = ₹480 and = ₹1080, i.e. ₹1560 against marked prices totalling ₹2000. The discount is ₹440 on ₹2000 = 22%. (Averaging the two rates as % would only be right if the two garments were marked at the same price; here the bigger discount sits on the smaller ticket, so the overall rate is pulled below 25%.)
Answer: B) 22
