Solution : Given: A person bought some pens at the rate of 14 for a rupee and sold them at the rate of 10 for a rupee. Profit percentage = $\frac{SP–CP}{CP}×100$, where SP is the selling price and CP is the cost price. = $\frac{14–10}{10}\times 100$ = $\frac{4}{10}\times 100$ = $40$% Hence, the correct answer is 40%.
