Correct Answer: 8 : 9
Solution : Let the marked price of the article be $MP$ and the cost price be $CP$. After giving a discount of 20%, Selling price = $\frac{80}{100}\times MP$ At loss of 10%, Selling price = $\frac{90}{100}\times CP$ Now, $\frac{80}{100}\times MP = \frac{90}{100}\times CP$ $\therefore \frac{MP}{CP}=\frac{90}{80}=\frac{9}{8}⇒CP:MP=8:9$ Hence, the correct answer is 8 : 9.
