Correct Answer: 10%
Solution :
The marked price is Rs. 15,000.
The selling price is Rs. 13,500.
Discount offered = 15000 – 13500 = Rs. 1500
$\therefore$ Discount percent offered $=\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked Price}}\times 100 = \frac{1500}{15000}\times 100$% = 10%
Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
