Solution:

Let CP = 100 & MP = 150

From A

If profit = 60%

Hence no discount is possible here so, it does not satisfy equation From B

When profit is 20% then discount will be

\frac{30}{150}

× 100 = 20%

When it doubles i.e. discount = 40%

Then, SP = 150 -

\frac{40}{100} \times 150

= 90

So, it gave loss of 10% not possible.

From C

When profit = 38%

Then discount =

\frac{12}{150} \times 100

= 8 %

When it doubles = 16%

Then SP = 150 –

\frac{16}{100} \times 150

= 126

So, profit is 26%

So, option C is possible.

From D

When profit = 35%

Discount =

\frac{15}{150} \times 100

= 10 %

When discount gets doubled = 20%

SP = 150 –

\frac{20}{100} \times 150

= 120

So profit is 20%, hence possible.

From E

When profit = 41%

then discount =

\frac{9}{150} \times 100

= 6 %

When discount = 12%

SP = 150 –

\frac{12}{100} \times 150

= 132

Profit is 32%

So, it is possible.

Then C, D and E values are possible.
