Correct Answer: 20%


Solution : Here SP is the selling price and CP is the cost price.
CP for Arun = Rs. 120
Profit = 25%
SP of apple = $\frac{125}{100}×120$ = Rs. 150
Again, SP by Divya = Rs. 198
Including profit = 10%
CP for Divya = $\frac{100}{110}×198$ = Rs. 180
$\therefore$ CP for Swati = Rs. 150
SP for Swati = Rs 180
Profit percentage = $\frac{180-150}{150}×100$ = $\frac{30}{150}×100$ = 20%
Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
