Correct Answer: 35%


Solution : The selling price of the article is Rs. 4,800, and this price includes a profit of 20%.
Cost Price = $\frac{100}{120}$ × 4800 = Rs. 4,000
Now, if the selling price is increased by Rs. 600, the new selling price becomes Rs. 4,800 + Rs. 600 = Rs. 5,400
$\text{New Profit percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{New selling price} - \text{Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}\right) \times 100= \left(\frac{5400 -4000}{4000}\right) \times 100 = 35\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 35%.
