Correct Answer: 10.5%
Solution : Let the cost price of goods be Rs.100 ⇒ Marked price of goods $= 100 × \frac{130}{100} = \mathrm{Rs.}\ 130$ ⇒ Selling price of goods $= 130 × \frac{100 - 15}{100} = \mathrm{Rs.}\ 110.5$ ⇒ Profit % $= \frac{110.5 - 100}{100}×100 = 10.5\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 10.5%.
