• A. $25$
• B. $30$
• C. $40$
• D. $66.67$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

The correct options are
A $25$
D $66.67$

Let the listed price is $=100$
C.P at 25% discount $=100-\frac{25}{100}\times 100=75$
Sell at 25% profit on Rs.100 , means selling price $=100+\frac{25}{100}\times 100=125$
$Profit=125-75=50$
Profit % $=\frac{50}{75}\times 100=66.67$%
