    D)  26 percent profit

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Let the C.P. of article be Rs. 100. Marked price of article = Rs.\[x\] \[\therefore \] \[x\times \frac{96}{100}=90\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[x=\]Rs. \[\frac{9000}{96}\] After 20% discount, S.P. = Rs. \[\left( \frac{9000}{96}\times \frac{80}{100} \right)\] = Rs. 75 \[\therefore \]Loss \[=(100-75)=25\]i.e. 25%
