Correct Answer: Gain 17%


Solution : Let the cost price of goods be Rs.100.
Marked price of goods = $100 + \frac{30}{100} \times 100$ = Rs. 130
Discount = 10%
Selling price of goods = $130 -\frac{10}{100} \times 130$ = Rs. 117
∴ Profit % = $\frac{(117 - 100)}{100} \times 100$ = 17%
Hence, the correct answer is Gain 17%.
