Correct Answer: $12 \frac{1}{2}$%
Solution : Let Rs. 100 be the cost price. Marked price = 100 + 25 = Rs. 125 Discount = 10% Selling price = 90% of marked price = 0.9 × 125 = Rs. 112.5 Profit = 112.5 – 100 = 12.5 Profit% = $\frac{12.5}{100}×100$ = 12.5% Hence, the correct answer is $12 \frac{1}{2}$%.
