A Correct answer
Explanation

Marked price is 120% of cost (20% markup), selling price is 108% of cost after 10% discount. The trader gives only 90cm when selling 1 meter, making effective selling price 108/0.9 = 120% per meter. He also receives 110cm but pays for 100cm, making effective cost 100/110 = 90.9% per meter. Profit = (120 - 90.9)/90.9 = 32%. Option A is correct.
