B Correct answer
Explanation

Cost price = 25 / 1.25 = 20. Marked price = 30. Selling price at 10% discount = 30 * 0.9 = 27. Profit = 27 - 20 = 7. Profit percentage = (7/20) * 100 = 35%.

AI explanation

When the article is sold for Rs. 25 at a 25% profit, the cost price is calculated as 25 divided by 1.25, which equals Rs. 20. The new selling price is based on a marked price of Rs. 30 with a 10% discount, calculated as 30 times 0.9, resulting in Rs. 27. The profit earned is (27 minus 20) divided by 20 times 100, resulting in 35%.
