Detailed Solution

Given,

5 %

discount if given on list price.
Let

Rs . x

be the list price.
So,

S .P . = 95 %

Rs . x

\Rightarrow Rs . (x \times \frac{95}{100})

\Rightarrow Rs . \frac{19 x}{20}

If discount is not given
Then, Selling price

= Rs . x

and profit

= 20 %

So,

C .P . = Rs . 100120 × x ⇒ C .P . = Rs . 5 x 6

Profit

= 19 x 20 − 5 x 6

\Rightarrow \frac{57 x - 50 x}{60}

\Rightarrow \frac{7 x}{60}

Profit

%

= 7 x 60 × 6 5 x × 100 %

\Rightarrow 14 x

Thus, I and II only give the answer.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
