   Let Marked price = $ y
   

   ∴ C.P. =	7y
   	10

   
   

   S.P. =		7y	×	140	=	98y
   		10		100		100

   
   

   ∴ Loss = y –		98y	=	2y
   		100		100

   
   

   Correct Option: A

   Let Marked price = $ y
   

   ∴ C.P. =	7y
   	10

   
   

   S.P. =		7y	×	140	=	98y
   		10		100		100

   
   

   ∴ Loss = y –		98y	=	2y
   		100		100

   
   

   ∴ Loss percent =	( 2y / 100 )	× 100
   	y

   
   

   Loss percent =	2y	× 100 = 2%
   	100 × y

   If the marked price be Rs. 100, then
   C.P. = ( 100 - 25 ) = $ 75
   S.P. = $ 100
   Gain = SP - CP = 100 - 75 = $ 25
   

   ∴ Gain percent =	Gain	× 100
   	C.P.

   
   

   Gain percent =	25	× 100
   	75

   
   

   Correct Option: D

   If the marked price be Rs. 100, then
   C.P. = ( 100 - 25 ) = $ 75
   S.P. = $ 100
   Gain = SP - CP = 100 - 75 = $ 25
   

   ∴ Gain percent =	Gain	× 100
   	C.P.

   
   

   Gain percent =	25	× 100
   	75

   
   

   Gain percent =		100	= 33	1	%

   Given that , The marked price of the article = $ 450
   Discount ( D ) = 10%
   

   ∴ S.P. of article =	Marked price × ( 100 - D )
   	100

   
   

   Correct Option: C

   Given that , The marked price of the article = $ 450
   Discount ( D ) = 10%
   

   ∴ S.P. of article =	Marked price × ( 100 - D )

   Let C.P. of the article = $ 100 and marked price = y
   

   ∴ y ×	90	= 117
   	100

   
   

   Correct Option: C

   Let C.P. of the article = $ 100 and marked price = y
   

   ∴ y ×	90	= 117
   	100

   
   

   ⇒ y =	117 × 100	= 130
   	90

   
   Hence , Required percent is 30% above C.P .
