Correct Answer: 10%


Solution : Let the cost price of each article be Rs. 100.
$\therefore$ Marked price = Rs. (100 + 25) = Rs 125
On giving a discount,
Selling price = Rs. 112.5
$\therefore$ Discount percentage = $\frac{\text{Discount}}{\text{Marked Price}}×100$% =$\frac{(125 – 112.5)}{125}$ = 10%
Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
