    A 15% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 12.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

      Let CP = 100. MP = 150% of CP = 150. SP after 25% discount = 150×75/100 =112.50. Profit = 112.50-100=12.50. Profit percentage = 12.5%. BY formula – MP /CP = (100+P/L)/(100-D) 150/100 =(100+P)/75 400+4P =450 4P=50 P=12.5%.
