Correct Answer: 56.25%


Solution : Here, CP = Cost price, SP = Selling price
CP of 1000 gm of millet = Rs. 16
CP of 1 gm of millet = $\frac{16}{1000}$ = Rs. 0.016
He gave only 800 gm.
CP of 800 gm of millet = $0.016 \times 800$ = Rs. $12.8$
SP of 800 gm of millet = Rs. 20
Profit = 20 – 12.8 = Rs. 7.2
Profit percent $=\frac{7.2}{12.8}\times 100 = 56.25\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 56.25%.
