Correct Answer: 20%


Solution : Given:
Vijay sells 42 metres of cloth.
Let the selling price of 1 metre of cloth = Rs 1
So, the Selling price of 42 metres of cloth = Rs 42
Profit = Rs 7
So, cost price of 42 metres of cloth = Rs (42 – 7) = Rs 35
$\text{Profit Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}} \right) \times 100\%$
= $\frac{7}{35} × 100$
= $20\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
