    A) 10%                      

    B) 15%

    C) 20%             

    D) 25%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let the cost price = 100 \[S{{P}_{2}}=\frac{1}{36}\times \frac{108}{96}=\frac{1}{32}\] Discount = 4%. \[\therefore \] S.P = M.P - Discount \[SP=\frac{M(100-d)}{100}\] Profit =\[\frac{SP}{M}=\frac{100-d}{100}\] Profit % = 20%
