- The original marked price of the cot is Rs 15,000.

- It was sold for Rs 13,500, which means a discount was given.

- To find the discount percentage, we first calculate the discount amount:

- Discount = Marked Price - Selling Price = 15,000 - 13,500 = Rs 1,500.

- The discount percentage is then calculated by dividing the discount amount by the marked price and multiplying by 100:

- Discount Percentage = (Discount / Marked Price) * 100 = (1,500 / 15,000) * 100 = 10%.

- Therefore, the discount percentage is 10%.

- Options provided:

- Option 1: 20%

- Option 2: 15%

- Option 3: 10% (Correct)

- Option 4: 12%
