Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

Correct Option: 4

To calculate profit percentage we need Cost Price and Selling Price. Selling Price can be derived from Market Price and Discount percentage. So the minimum required data is Cost Price and Discount percentage on Market Price (implicitly along with MP). Option D gives the most complete information.

Note: The options are ambiguously worded; we have interpreted option D as providing sufficient pricing information.
