Correct answer: (A) 8%
Let CP = 100. MP = 150. After 20% discount: 150 × 0.8 = 120. After 10% discount: 120 × 0.9 = 108. SP = 108. Profit% = (108-100)/100 × 100 = 8%.

सही उत्तर: (A) 8%
माना क्रय मूल्य (CP) = 100। अंकित मूल्य (MP) = 150। 20% छूट के बाद: 150 × 0.8 = 120। 10% छूट के बाद: 120 × 0.9 = 108। विक्रय मूल्य (SP) = 108। लाभ% = (108-100)/100 × 100 = 8%।
