Correct answer is: 17

Explanation:

According to the question,

Cost of one apple = Rs. 25

∴ Cost of 12 apples = 25 × 12= Rs.300

∴ Amount paid = Rs. 250

∴ Discount = 300 - 250 = Rs. 50

% Discount = \(\frac{{50 \times 100}}{{300}} = 17{{\% \;}}\left( {{\text{approx}}.} \right)\)

∴ The required answer is 17%
