Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 25% profit.

MRP = ₹800

Discount = 10%

Selling price to Mohan (Cost Price) = ₹800 − 10% of ₹800

⇒ ₹800 − ₹80 = ₹720

Mohan sells at ₹900

Profit = ₹900 − ₹720 = ₹180

Profit% = 180720180\over720 × 100 = 25%
