Correct Answer: 10
Solution :
Let the original cost price be Rs. 100
New cost price = 200
New profit% = 65%
New selling price after 65% profit = 200 + 0.65 × 200
= 330
Old selling price = one-third of new selling price
Old selling price = 110
Present profit% = $\frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100$
= $\frac{110-100}{100}\times 100$
= 10%
Hence, the correct answer is 10.
