Correct Answer: 40%


Solution : Profit% = $\frac{\text{Selling Price-Cost Price}}{\text{Cost Price}}\times 100$
Let's denote the cost price of the helmet as CP
helmet is sold for INR 1,650 at a profit of 10%
⇒ Selling Price  = Cost Price + Profit = 1,650 = CP + 0.10 × CP
⇒ 1,650 = 1.10 × CP
⇒ CP = $\frac{1650}{1.10}$  = 1500
The selling price is INR 2,100
Profit = Selling Price − Cost Price = 2,100 − 1,500 = 600
Profit Percentage = $\frac{600}{1500}$ × 100 = 40%
Hence, the correct answer is 40%.
