Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : Let the cost price (CP) of the watch be 100. The selling price (SP) at a profit of 25% = 125 So, profit = 125 – 100 = 25 When the profit percentage is calculated on SP, Profit % = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{SP}} × 100 = \frac{25}{125} × 100 = 20\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
