Correct Answer: 25%


Solution : We know, Profit = Selling Price – Cost Price
⇒ 55 SP – 55 CP = 11 SP
where SP = Selling Price and CP = Cost Price
⇒ 44 SP = 55 CP
Now, let the cost price be Re. 1.
⇒ CP of 44 meter of cloth = Rs. 44 and SP of 44 meter of cloth = Rs. 55
⇒ Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100$ = $\frac{55-44}{44}\times100= 25$%
Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
