    A.

    23%

    B.

    32%

    C.

    50%

    D.

    8%

    Correct option is A


    Given:

    Cost Price (C.P.) of 15 articles = Rs. 15.
    Selling Price (S.P.) of each article = Rs. 1.23.
    Formula Used:

    Profit Percentage = Total ProfitTotal Cost Price×100.\frac{\text{Total Profit}}{\text{Total Cost Price}} \times 100.
    Solution:

    Cost Price of each article = Total C.P.Number of articles=1515=Rs.1.\frac{\text{Total C.P.}}{\text{Number of articles}} = \frac{15}{15} = Rs. 1. \\​​
    Selling Price of 15 articles =15×1.23=Rs.18.45. 15 \times 1.23 = Rs. 18.45. \\​​
    Profit = Total S.P. - Total C.P. = 18.45 - 15 = Rs. 3.45. 
    Profit Percentage =3.4515×100=23%. \frac{3.45}{15} \times 100 = 23\%. \\​​
    The profit percentage is 23%.\text{The profit percentage is } 23\%.​​
