A.

B.

Cost price Rs.40, profit Rs.15

C.

Cost price Rs.60, profit Rs.24

D.

Cost price Rs.36, profit Rs.18

Correct option is D

Formula Used: 
 Profit percentage=ProfitCost Price×100\text { Profit percentage} = \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}}\times 100 
Solution:  
From option(a) 
Cost price Rs.50, profit Rs. 24 
Profit percentage = 2450×100=48%\frac{24}{50}\times100 = 48\% 
From option(b)
Cost price Rs.40, profit Rs. 15 
Profit % = 1540×100=37.5%\frac{15}{40}\times100 = 37.5\% 
From option(c) 
Cost price Rs.60, profit Rs. 24 
Profit% = 2460×100=40%\frac{24}{60}\times100 = 40\% 
From option(d) 
Cost price Rs.36, profit Rs. 18 
Profit% = 1836×100=50%\frac{18}{36}\times100 = 50\% 
After observing all the above options, we can see that option (d) gives the maximum profit of 50 % .
