    D) 9.375%

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the CP of goods be Rs. 100. Marked Price \[=Rs.\,125\] \[\therefore \] After allowing a discount of \[12\frac{1}{2}%\] or \[\frac{25}{2}%,\] \[SP=\left( 100-\frac{25}{2} \right)%\,\,\text{of}\,\,Rs.125\] \[=125\times \frac{175}{2}%=\frac{125\times 175}{200}=Rs.\,109.375\] \[\therefore \]      Gain \[Rs.\,(109.375-100)=Rs.\,9.375\] As, the CP is Rs. 100. Gain per cent \[=9.375%\]
