Correct answer: (D) 16%
Only the wholesaler's transaction matters (the retailer's details are extra information not needed for this question). CP = 2000, MP = 2000×1.25 = 2500. Profit = ₹100 ⇒ SP = 2100. Discount = MP − SP = 2500 − 2100 = 400. Discount% = (400/2500)×100 = 16%.

सही उत्तर: (D) 16%
यहाँ केवल थोक विक्रेता के लेन-देन पर ध्यान देना है (फुटकर विक्रेता की जानकारी इस प्रश्न के लिए अतिरिक्त/अनावश्यक है)। CP = 2000, MP = 2000×1.25 = 2500। लाभ = ₹100 ⇒ SP = 2100। छूट = MP − SP = 2500 − 2100 = 400। छूट% = (400/2500)×100 = 16%।
