Correct Answer: $12\frac{1}{2}$%
Solution : The trader marks the selling price as 25% more than the cost price. So, the marked price (MP) = CP + 0.25 × CP = 1.25 × CP ----------------(i) Then, the trader gives a 10% discount at the time of selling. So, the selling price (SP) = MP – 0.10 × MP ⇒ SP = 0.90 × MP From equation (i), we get, SP = 0.90 × 1.25 ×CP = 1.125 × CP The gain percentage is: $= \frac{SP - CP}{CP} \times 100 = \frac{1.125CP - CP}{CP} \times 100 = 12.5 =12\frac{1}{2}$% Hence, the correct answer is $12\frac{1}{2}\%$.
