Correct Answer: 5%


Solution : Let the cost price be 100.
The marked price is 75% above the cost price = 175
Discount = 40%
Selling price = $\frac{100-\text{discount%}}{100}\times$ marked price
= $\frac{100-40}{100}\times175$
= $\frac{60}{100}\times175$
= $105$
Profit = selling price – cost price = 105 – 100 = 5
Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{profit}}{\text{cost price}}\times100=\frac{5}{100}\times100=5\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 5%.
