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

• suppose the print rate is 100 rs.
  now on giving 25% discount they sold it at 75 rs and earn 25 % profit.
  now on giving 10% discount the company sold item at 90 rs.
  now on selling at 75 rs they earn 25 % profit
  hence on selling at 90 rs they will earn (25/75)*90=30%

• i think ans will be 50%.
  suppose print rate is 100 rs.
  after giving 25% discount company sold it in 75.
  and as they still got 25% profit so cost price is: x+x*25/100=75
  so x=60,which is cost price
  hence on selling at 90 rs they will earn (90-60/60)*100=50%
  bt it is not included in option
