Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : Let the cost price be Rs. 100. So, marked price = Rs. 140 Profit = 12% of cost price Selling price = cost price + profit = 100 + 12% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 112 Discount = marked price – selling price = Rs. 140 - Rs. 112 = Rs. 28 $\therefore$ Discount % = $(\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked price}})\times100=(\frac{28}{140}) × 100= 20\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
