Answer & solution

  • A

    10

  • B

    15

  • C

    17.5

  • 20

  • E

    None of the above

Solution

Let the printed price be Rs. 100.

Cost price for Rajnish after 25% discount = Rs. 75

Rajnish sold it at 10% discount in printed price i.e., at Rs. 90

∴ Required profit % = 90-7575×100 = 1575×100 = 20%

Hence, option (d).
