Correct answer: (A) 28.25%
Let CP = 100. Marked Price = 150. After 10% discount: 150 × 0.90 = 135. After 5% discount: 135 × 0.95 = 128.25. So SP = 128.25 and CP = 100, giving profit = 28.25%.

सही उत्तर: (A) 28.25%
मान लीजिए लागत मूल्य (CP) = 100। अंकित मूल्य = 150। 10% छूट के बाद: 150 × 0.90 = 135। 5% छूट के बाद: 135 × 0.95 = 128.25। अतः विक्रय मूल्य = 128.25 और CP = 100, इसलिए लाभ = 28.25%।
