Correct Answer: 56.25%


Solution : The cost price of 1 kg potato = INR 20
Selling price of 800gm potato = INR 25
The cost price of 800 gm potato = $\frac{20\times 800}{1000}$ = INR 16
Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Selling price – Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100$
= $\frac{25-16}{16}\times100$
= $56.25$%
Hence, the correct answer is 56.25%.
