Correct Answer: 110%
Solution : Let the cost price of the first box be 100. $\therefore$ Selling price of first box = 100 + 5 = 105 He sold the 2nd box doubling the selling price of the first box. $\therefore$ Selling price of 2nd box = 105 × 2 = 210 So, the profit percentage on the 2nd box $=\frac{210-100}{100}×100=110\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 110%.
