Correct Answer: 14.5%
Solution : Let the marked price be Rs. 100. Discount = 10% Selling price = 90% of marked price = 90% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 90 Amount discounted = Rs. 100 – Rs. 90 = Rs. 10 Cashback = 5% of Selling price Amount got as cashback = 5% of Rs 90 = $\frac{5 × 90}{100}$ = Rs. 4.5 Total amount discounted = Rs. 10 + Rs. 4.5 = Rs. 14.5 Effective discount = $\frac{14.5 × 100}{100}$ = 14.5% Hence, the correct answer is 14.5%.
