Correct Answer: 60%
Solution : Let's denote the marked price as $ M$ and the cost price as $C$. So, according to the question, $0.25×M = 0.40×C$ ⇒ $0.25×M = 0.40×C$ ⇒ $M = {1.6}×C$ Since Profit Percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling Price−Cost Price}}{\text{Cost Price}}×100$% So, Profit Percentage = $\frac{M−C}{C}×100$ ⇒ Profit Percentage = $\frac{1.6C − C}{C}×100$ ⇒ Profit Percentage = $60$% Hence, the correct answer is 60%.
