Correct Answer: 150%
Solution : Let the cost price (CP) be Rs. 100. With a profit of 25%, SP = Rs. 125 If the SP is doubled, the new SP = Rs. 250 New profit = New SP – CP = 250 – 100 = Rs. 150 So, new profit % = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Actual C.P}}×100=\frac{150}{100}×100=150\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 150%.
