    A 25.6% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 13.33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18.16% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 21.33% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the marked price be ₹100.
    Cost price = 75% of ₹100 = ₹75
    Discount = 15% of ₹100 = ₹15
    Selling price = ₹100 − ₹15 = ₹85 Gain = ₹85 − ₹75 = ₹10
    Gain percentage = (10 / 75) × 100 = 13.33%
