Correct Answer: 22.22 percent
Solution : Let the marked price (MP) be Rs. 100. Selling price after 10% discount (SP) = 100 – 10 = Rs. 90 Cost price = Selling price $×\frac{100}{(100+ \text{Profit})\%}$ = $\frac{90×100}{100+ 10}$ = $\frac{900}{11}$ Required profit percent without discount = $\frac{100-\frac{900}{11}}{\frac{900}{11}}\times 100$ = $\frac{2}{9}\times 100$ = 22.22% Hence, the correct answer is 22.22 percent.
