Correct Answer: 140%
Solution : Given: A trader sells an article at 20% profit. Let the cost price (CP) = 100 Then the selling price (SP) = (100 + 20) = 120 Now if the CP became half of the original CP, Then the new CP = $\frac{100}{2}$ = 50 So, the profit percentage = $\frac{SP-CP}{CP}×100$ = $\frac{120-50}{50}×100$ = 140% Hence, the correct answer is 140%.
