Correct Answer: $12$%
Solution : Let the cost price be 100. The marked price is 40% above the cost price = 140 Discount = 20% $\text{Selling price} = \frac{100-\text{Discount}}{100}\times \text{marked price}$ ⇒ $\text{Selling price} = \frac{100-20}{100}\times 140= \frac{80}{100}\times 140=112$ $\therefore$ Profit = Selling price – cost price = 112 – 100 = 12 So, the profit percentage $=\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}\times 100=\frac{12}{100}\times 100 = 12$% Hence, the correct answer is $12$%.
