Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN THAT,

Marked price(MP)=1500rs

Discount=10%

so,discount is 10% of 1500

10% of 1500=150rs

so,Sp=MP-D

SP=1500-150

Sp=1350rs

Profit=120%

then,20% of Cp=1350

therefore,Cp=1125

in second case,

profit=12%

so,Sp=112% of 1125=1260rs

Here new discount becomes,

1500-1260rs

240rs

so new discount%=(240/1500)×100

16%

HENCE,DICOUNT PRECENTAGE HAS TO BE INCREASED BY 4%
