Correct Answer: 5%
Solution : Given: A shopkeeper marks his goods 40% above the cost price and allows a 25% discount on them. Let the cost price = Rs. 100 Then, marked price = (100 + 40) = Rs. 140 Discount = 25% So, the selling price = $(140-140×\frac{25}{100}$) = Rs. 105 Therefore, the gain percentage = $\frac{(105 - 100)}{100}×100$ = 5% Hence, the correct answer is 5%.
