Q:

A wholesale dealer allows a discount of 20 % on the marked price to the retailer. The retailer sells at 5% below the marked price. If the customer pays Rs.19 for an article, what profit is made by the retailer on it ?

A) Rs. 4B) Rs. 3C) Rs. 5D) Rs. 1

Answer:   B) Rs. 3 

Explanation:

Let wholesaler dealers marked price = 100%, Retailer's C.P = 80% 
And the retailer sells at 5% less than the marked price => S.P = 95%
If S.P of 95% of the retailer costs Rs.19 to customer,so its C.P of 80% will cost 80 x 19/95 = 16 
Profit made by the retailer = 19-16 =  Rs.3
