15%

12%

10%

- The original marked price of the article is Rs 800.

- The retailer receives a first discount of 25%.

- 25% of Rs 800 is Rs 200 (since \( 800 \times 0.25 = 200 \)).

- After the first discount, the price is Rs 800 - Rs 200 = Rs 600.

- The retailer buys it for Rs 540, so the second discount is on Rs 600.

- The reduction amount is Rs 600 - Rs 540 = Rs 60.

- To find the percentage discount: \((60/600) \times 100 = 10\%\).

- \(\green{\text{}}\) Option 3: 10% is correct.
