Correct Answer: 12.5%
Solution : Let the cost price of 1 pen be Re. 1. Cost price for the retailer = $1\times 44 = 44 \ \mathrm{rupees}$ Marked price of the pens = $1\times 50 = 50 \ \mathrm{rupees}$ After giving 1% discount, selling price = 50 – 1% of 50 = 50 – 0.5 = 49.5 Profit = $49.5 - 44 = 5.5$ $\therefore$ Profit percentage = $\frac{5.5}{44}\times 100=12.5$% Hence, the correct answer is 12.5%.
