Correct Answer: 25%
Solution : Let the cost price be 100. Marked price = 100 + 60% of 100 = 100 + 60 = 160 Profit = 20% of 100 = 20 Selling price = cost price + profit = 100 + 20 = 120 Discount percentage = $\frac{\text{marked price – selling price}}{\text{marked price}}$ × 100 = $\frac{160 – 120}{160}$ × 100 = $\frac{40}{160}$ × 100 = $25\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
