    A 54% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 56% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 50% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 60% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, we can say that Let the CP be = 100  Then MP will be = 150  Therefore, SP will be = 150 x (80/100) = 120  Hence, the Profit will be then = 120 - 100 = 20  Then the new MP will be = 175  Therefore, the SP will be = (175/100) x 80 = 140  Hence profit will be = 140 - 100 = 40  Hence, the required% will be  = (20/40) x 100 = 50%
