Correct Answer: 5.26%
Solution : Given: The cost price is 95% of the selling price. The formula of Profit % is: Profit % = $\frac{\text{selling price – cost price}}{\text{cost price}}$ × 100% CP = 95% of SP ⇒ CP = $\frac{95}{100}$SP ⇒ SP : CP = 20 : 19 Let, SP – CP = 20 – 19 = 1 unit. Profit % = $\frac{1}{19}$ × 100 = 5.26% (approx) Hence, the correct answer is 5.26%.
