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%.
