Correct Answer: 35%
Solution : Let the cost price be Rs. 100. The selling price when profit is 30% = 100 + 30% of 100 = Rs. 130 The marked price is twice the cost price = Rs. 200 Discount = 200 – 130 = Rs 70 Discount percentage = $\frac{\text{Discount} }{\text{Marked price}}\times 100$ = $\frac{70 }{200}\times 100 = 35$% Hence, the correct answer is 35%.
