Correct Answer: 26.56% profit
Solution : Cost price of one banana = $\frac{8}{9}$ Selling price of one banana = $\frac{9}{8}$ Profit = Selling price – Cost price = $\frac{9}{8}$–$\frac{8}{9}$ = $\frac{17}{72}$ Profit% = $\frac{\frac{17}{72}×100}{\frac{8}{9}}$ = $\frac{17×100×9}{72×8}$ = 26.56% Hence, the correct answer is 26.56% profit.
