Correct Answer: 10%
Solution : Let the cost price be 100. A merchant marked his goods 20% above the cost price. So, marked price = 100 + 20 = 120 Profit = 8% So, selling price = 100 + 8 = 108 $\therefore$ Discount percentage on marked price = $\frac{120-108}{120}×100=\frac{12}{120}×100=10\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
