    Question

    When an article is sold at 3340\frac{33}{40}​ of its actual selling price. there is a loss of 25%. If it is sold at 32% above its actual selling price. then the profit percentage is:

    A.

    18% 

    B.

    20% 

    C.

    30%

    D.

    25%

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    Selling price in first case = 3340\frac{33}{40}​ of actual selling price

    Loss in first case = 25%

    Selling price in second case = 32% above actual selling price

    Formula Used:

    Loss% = CPSPCP×100\frac{CP - SP}{CP} \times 100​​

    Profit% = SPCPCP×100\frac{SP - CP}{CP} \times 100​​

    Solution:

    Selling on  3340\frac{33}{40}​of actual selling price 

    loss occur = 25% 

    so, actual selling price = 40 unit 

    sold on = 33 unit 

    CP = 33×10075=44 unit\frac{33\times 100}{75} = 44 \ unit 

    Now sold on 32% above actual SP 

    40×132100=52.8 unit40\times\frac{132}{100} = 52.8 \ unit ​​

    Profit % = 52.84444×100=20%\frac{52.8-44}{44}\times 100 = 20\%​​
