C ) 40%

D ) 50%


Explanation:

We are given:

  • Market Price (MP) = Rs. 1500
  • Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 1200

We need to find the percentage of discount.

✅ Step 1: Use the Discount Formula:

Discount=MP−SP=1500−1200=300

 Discount %=(Discount/MP)×100

Discount %=(300/1500)×100

Discount %=(3/15)×100

Discount %=(1/5)×100

Discount %=100/5

Discount %=20

✅ Final Answer:

20%

The percentage of discount is 20%.
