Lets Assume the selling price is 100
After 25% discount, the selling price is 75
when sold in 75, the profit % is 25
So the net profit is 75*25/100=18.75
so the cost price is 75-18.75 = 56.25
Now when 10% discount is given, the selling price is 90
cost price from above is 56.25
profit is 90 - 56.25 = 33.75
profit % is 56.25*X/100 = 33.75
X = 33.75*100/56.25
X= 60%
So the net profit is 60% when sold in 10% discount
