Correct Answer: 5%
Solution : Given: A notebook was sold for Rs. 28, at a profit of 12%. The selling price (SP) is Rs. 28 and the profit is 12%. Then, cost price (CP) is $\frac{SP × 100}{100 + \text{Profit%}}$. So, CP $= \frac{28 × 100}{100 + 12}=\frac{2800}{112} = 25$ If SP is Rs. 26.25, the profit percentage will be $\frac{SP – CP}{CP} × 100$ $=\frac{26.25 – 25}{25} × 100 = 5$% Hence, the correct answer is 5%.
