Cost price of P = 3x

So x = 1800 (as cost price of p is given as 5400)

Cost price of Q = 7200

Now profit on Q is 25%

So selling price = 1.25 * 7200 = 9000

Marked price of Q = 10,000

So discount = ( Marked price – selling price)/Marked price *100%

                    = (10,000 – 90000)/10,000  * 100%

                    = 10%
