   Let the marked price of radio be Rs. x.
   According to the question,
   80% of x = 1200
   

   ⇒	x × 80	= 1200
   	100

   
   Second Method : Here, D = 20%, S.P. = Rs. 1200, M.P. = ?
   

   M.P. =	S.P. × 100
   	100 − D

   
   

   =	1200 × 100
   	100 − 20

   
   

   M.P. =	120000

   Marked price = Rs. 250
   S.P. = Rs. 225
   Discount = 250 – 225 = Rs. 25
   If the rate of discount be x%, then
   

   250 × x	= 25
   100

   
   

   ⇒  x =	25 × 100	= 10%
   	250

   
   Second Method : Here, M.P. = Rs. 250, S.P. = Rs. 225
   

   Discount % =	M.P. − S.P.	= 100%
   	M.P.

   
   

   =	250 − 225	× 100% = 10%
   	250

   Correct Option: B

   Marked price = Rs. 250
   S.P. = Rs. 225
   Discount = 250 – 225 = Rs. 25
   If the rate of discount be x%, then
   

   250 × x	= 25
   100

   
   

   ⇒  x =	25 × 100	= 10%
   	250

   
   Second Method : Here, M.P. = Rs. 250, S.P. = Rs. 225
   

   Discount % =	M.P. − S.P.	= 100%
   	M.P.

   
   

   =	250 − 225	× 100% = 10%
