Correct Answer: 5% profit


Solution : Given: Selling price including 10% profit:
Let the cost price be CP.
$\frac{110}{100} \times CP=132000$
Cost price = 120000
If it is sold at Rs 126000
Profit = 126000 – 120000 = 6000
Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}\times 100$
= $\frac{6000}{120000}\times 100$
= 5%
Hence, the correct answer is 5% profit.
