Correct Answer: 5%


Solution : Let the original price be Rs. 100.
Price at which Ram bought the phone = 100 – 30% of 100= Rs. (100 – 30) = Rs. 70
Price at which Ram sold the phone = 70 + 50% of 70 = Rs. (70 + 35) = Rs. 105
Profit percent on original price = $\frac{105-100}{100}×100$ = $\frac{5}{100}×100$ = 5%
Hence, the correct answer is 5%.
