Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Marked price = Rs. 200 and discount = 20%
$ \therefore $ $ SP=200-\frac{200\times 20}{100}=200-40=Rs.,160 $ Now, Profit $ =SP-CP $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ 16=160-CP $
$ \Rightarrow $ $ CP=160-16=Rs.,144 $ Now, profit or gain percentage $ =\frac{Profit,or,Gain}{CP}\times 100%=\frac{16}{144}\times 100 $ % $ =\frac{1}{9},\times ,100%,=,11,\frac{1}{9} $ %
