(A) Let the $CP$ of each book be $Rs. 100$.For every $15$ books purchased,the customer gets $1$ book free,meaning the customer receives $16$ books for the price of $15$.The total $CP$ for $16$ books is $16 	imes 100 = Rs. 1600$.The tradesman gains $35 \%$,so the total $SP$ for $16$ books is $1600 	imes 1.35 = Rs. 2160$.The $SP$ of $1$ book is $2160 / 16 = Rs. 135$.Since the tradesman gives a $4 \%$ discount on the marked price $(MP)$,we have $0.96 	imes MP = 135$.$MP = 135 / 0.96 = Rs. 140.625$.The percentage increase of $MP$ over $CP$ is $((140.625 - 100) / 100) 	imes 100 = 40.625 \%$.Rounding to the nearest integer,the increase is approximately $40 \%$.

$A$ tradesman gives $4 \%$ discount on the marked price and gives $1$ book free for buying every $15$ books and thus gains $35 \%$. The marked price is increased above the cost price by (approx.) (in $\%$).
