If on an item a company gives 25% discount, they earn 25% profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the profit percentage.

(a) 40% (b) 55% (c) 35% (d) 30%

• If printed price is Rs 100,
  sp after 25 % discount = Rs 75.
  Then cp for 25 % profit = Rs 60.
  If discount on Rs 100 is now 10%, then sp = Rs 90.
  Profit on cp of Rs 60 = Rs 30
  
  % age profit =50% ... None of given options is correct.

• assume price as 100
  if 25% discount then price becomes 75,he gains 25%profit from discount then 25%of 75 is 15rs profit
  60 rs is the original cost .
  if he gives 10% profit then 90
  90-60=30
  hence 50% he gains profit
