Correct Answer: 10%


Solution : Given:
$\frac{3}{4}$th of the marked price of an article is equal to $\frac{5}{6}$th of selling price.
Let the marked price be 100.
So, $\frac{3}{4}$th of the marked price of an article $=\frac{3}{4}×100=75$
Let the selling price be $x$.
$\frac{5x}{6}=75$
⇒ $x=90$
So, the discount percentage is (100 – 90)% = 10%
Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
