Correct Answer: $13 \frac{1}{3} \%$
Solution : Let the marked price be $100$. The discount is $25$% on the Marked Price. So, the selling price = $100 - 25 = 75$ Profit is $70$%. Cost price = $\frac{100}{170}×75=\frac{750}{17}$ If he sells the same table at $50 \%$ discount, New selling price = $100 -50 = 50$ New profit = New selling price – Cost price ⇒ New profit = $50-\frac{750}{17}=\frac{100}{17}$ So, new profit percentage = $\frac{\text{New profit}}{\text{Cost price}}×100$ = $\frac{\frac{100}{17}}{\frac{750}{17}}×100$ = $13\frac{1}{3}$% Hence, the correct answer is $13 \frac{1}{3} \%$.
