    ক)
    10%
    খ)
    8%
    গ)
    18%
    ঘ)
    20%

    Explanation

    Let cost price of the article is x Rs, so mark price of article = 6x/5 After discount, selling price of the article = 6x5×100−10100=27x25\frac{{6x}}{5} \times \frac{{100 - 10}}{{100}} = \frac{{27x}}{{25}} \eqalign{ & \therefore Profit\ gain = \frac{{27x}}{{25}}-x = \frac{{2x}}{{25}} \cr & \therefore Profit\ percent = \frac{{\frac{{2x}}{{25}}}}{x} \times 100 = 8\% \cr}
