The smaller quantity is sold for (rs 3360)/(120 L) = rs 28/L.
The larger quantity is sold for (rs 6120)/(240 L) = rs 25.5/L.

The latter price represents a price adjustment of
  (25.5/28 - 1)*100% ≈ -8.93%

The concession is about 8.93% on the per liter price for the higher volume.

The actual value is 8 13/14%.
