    20% discount =1/5 (1 – discount, 5 – MP)
    => MP:SP= 5:4
    % Profit= 18%=9/50
    => CP:SP= 50:59
    Make SP same in both equation, we get
    CP:SP:MP=200:236:295
    Required %= (295-200)/200*100= 47.5%

    Solution
    :
    —-Hours————–Efficiency (Total Work = LCM 12, 15=60)
    A = 12  ——————– 5
    A + B = 15—————–4
    Difference = 5-4=1 this is due to B
    In 1 hour B can fill 10*60=600 L
    1->600 L
    60(total work)->60*600=36,000 L
