Correct Answer: 20


Solution : Given: The Selling price of a coconut = Rs. 14.4
Loss percent = 10%
Cost price = $\frac{\text{Selling price×100}}{100-Loss\%}$
Cost price = $\frac{14.4}{0.9}=16$
Selling price = $\frac{\text{Cost price (100+Profit%)}}{100}$
For 25% profit, Selling price = $16\times 1.25$ = Rs. 20
Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 20.
