For a certain article, if discount is 25% the profit is 25%. If the discount is 10%, then the profit is :

A) 50%
B) 40%
C) 30%
D) 33\( \Large \frac{1}{3} \) %
E) 60%

Correct Answer:

A) 50%

Description for Correct answer:
Let the marked price be Rs x and cost price be Rs 100.Then

\( \Large \frac{x X 75}{100} \) = 125

x = \( \Large \frac{125 X 100}{75} \) = Rs \( \Large \frac{500}{3} \)

S.P after a discount of 10% = \( \Large \frac{500}{3} \) X \( \Large \frac{90}{100} \) = Rs 150/-

Gain percentage = 50 %
