Correct Answer: 25%
Solution : The cost price of 1 kg of sugar = INR 40 Since 100 g is removed from each packet. So, the effective cost price of 900 g of sugar = 40 × 0.9 = INR 36 The selling price of a packet = INR 45 So, Gain percentage = $\frac{\text{selling price - cost price}}{\text{cost price}}×100$ = $\frac{(45-36)}{36}×100$ = $\frac{900}{36}$ = 25% Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
