Solution

The correct option is C 10%
Given that,
Marked price of a dinner set = ₹ 1000
Selling price of the dinner set = ₹ 900
$∴$ Amount of discount = ₹ (1000 - 900) = ₹ 100

$D i s c o u n t p e r c e n t = \frac{D i s c o u n t}{M a r k e d p r i c e} \times 100$

$D i s c o u n t p e r c e n t = \frac{100 \times 100}{1000} = 10 %$
Hence, he gave a discount of 10% on the dinner set.
