The formula for calculating the duty cycle is Ton/ (Ton+Toff).

From the Question it is clear that pulse width (Ton) is given as 10 us and the total period is (Ton+Toff).

So, the Duty cycle is = Ton/ (Ton+/Toff) = (10 us/100 us) *100= 10.

Mr. Sri how can you say that the pulsewidth is total duration of positive cycle because for total duration we calculate or add the time of -ve & +ve pulse and both this pulse is count in one cycle of wave (0-2#) , threfore m nt agree with your answer.

Pulsewidth is total duration of positive cycle
dutycycle=pw/total period= 10us/100us = .1
