Correct Answer: 10%


Solution : The profit percentage can be calculated using the formula:
$\text{Profit percentage} = \frac{\text{Selling price} - \text{Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}} \times 100$
Given that the cost price (CP) and selling price (SP) of an article are in the ratio 10 : 11.
Let,
$\text{CP} = 10x$
$\text{SP} = 11x$
Substituting these values,
$\text{Profit percentage} = \frac{11x - 10x}{10x} \times 100 = 10$%
Hence, the correct answer is 10%.
