15%
29%
316%
425%

Answer:- 1

Explanation:-

Solution:

Let Cost price be Rs. 100
Then,
Marked price = Rs. 125
Selling price = 84% of Rs. 125

\begin{aligned} =  Rs . (\frac{84}{100} \times 125) \\ = Rs .105 . \end{aligned}

$\eqalign{ & {\text{ = Rs}}{\text{.}}\left( {\frac{{84}}{{100}} \times 125} \right) \cr & = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.105}}{\text{.}} \cr}$ ∴ Profit % = (105 - 100) % = 5%
