Correct Answer: 66.66 percent
Solution : Let the cost price of the article as CP and the selling price as SP. Given that 40% of CP is equal to 24% of SP. ⇒ 0.40 × CP = 0.24 × SP ⇒ $\frac{SP}{CP} = \frac{0.40}{0.24}=\frac{5}{3}$ Let SP be $5x$ and CP be $3x$. We know, Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100=\frac{5x-3x}{3x}×100= \frac{2}{3} \times 100= 66.66\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 66.66 percent.
