Correct Answer: 170%
Solution : Given: A man earns a profit of 35 percent by selling a chair for a certain price. Profit = SP – CP Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{CP}\times 100$ where SP is the selling price and CP is the cost price. Let the CP of the chair be INR 100. According to the question, SP = (100 + 100 × 35%) ⇒ SP = (100 + 35) = INR 135 According to the question, The new SP = 2 × 135 = INR 270 The new profit = INR 270 – INR 100 = INR 170 The new profit percentage = $\frac{170}{100} × 100 = 170\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 170%.
