- Radha bought a computer table for Rs 10,000 and a centre table for Rs 5,000.

- She sold the computer table with an 8% profit. Profit = 0.08 * 10,000 = Rs 800. Selling Price for the computer table = 10,000 + 800 = Rs 10,800.

- Total cost of both tables = Rs 10,000 + Rs 5,000 = Rs 15,000.

- Radha wants to gain 10% on the entire transaction. Total desired profit = 0.10 * 15,000 = Rs 1,500.

- Total selling price should be 15,000 + 1,500 = Rs 16,500.

- Selling price of the centre table should be Rs 16,500 - Rs 10,800 = Rs 5,700.

- Required profit on the centre table = 5,700 - 5,000 = Rs 700.

- Profit percentage on the centre table = (700 / 5,000) * 100% = 14%.

- Correct Answer: Option 3 - 14%
