B

$30$

C

$25$

D

$40$

Solution

MP of chair $=$ $Rs. 800$

After getting successive discount of $10 \%$ and $15 \%$ respiectively

$\Rightarrow CP$ of chair $= Rs .\left[800 \times \frac{90}{100} \times \frac{85}{100}\right]= Rs .612$

Total CP (including transportation cost) $612+28=$ $Rs. 640$

Profit $\%=\frac{800-640}{640} \times 100=25 \%$
