    A 18% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 20% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 22% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the cost price = Rs 100
    then, Marked price = Rs 135
    Required gain = 8%,
    So Selling price = Rs 108
    Discount = 135 - 108 = 27
    Discount% = (27/135)*100 = 20%
