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%.
