Correct Answer: 150%
Solution : Let be the cost price as $C$ and the selling price as $S$ Now, cost price = 40% of $S$ ⇒ $C$ = 0.04 × $S$ ⇒ Profit = $S$ − $C$ = $S - 0.40 × S$ ⇒ Profit = $S − 0.40 × S$ = 0.60 × $S$ ⇒ Profit Percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}}$ × 100 = $\frac{\text{0.60 × S}}{\text{0.40 × S}}$×100 = $\frac{0.60}{0.40}$ × 100 = 1.5 × 100 = 150% Hence, the correct answer is 150%.
