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.
