      C 35% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 43% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E none of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Marked Price = Rs. 45,000 and Discount % = 20% ∴ S.P = `(45000xx80)/100`   = Rs. 36,000 Given that Profit % = 20% ∴ 120% of C.P. = Rs. 36,000 ⇒ C.P. = `(36000xx100)/120`  = Rs. 30,000 If there is a discount of 12.5%, S.P. would have been = `(45000xx87.5)/100`  = Rs. 39,375 ∴ Profit = 39,375 – 30,000 = Rs. 9,375 ∴ Percentage profit = `9375/30000xx` 100 = 31.25%
