Correct Answer:
Solution : The cost of manufacturing a tape recorder is Rs. 1500. The manufacturer fixes the marked price at 20% above the cost of manufacture. So, the marked price = $\frac{120}{100}$ × 1500 = Rs. 1800 Profit = 8% So, the selling price = $\frac{108}{100}$ × 1500 = Rs. 1620 Discount = Marked price – Selling price = 1800 – 1620 = Rs. 180 Discount percentage = $\frac{180}{1800}$ × 100 = 10% Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
