Correct Answer: $25 \%$


Solution : The cost price of 1000 gm of salt = INR 16
Cost of 900 gm of salt $= \frac{16}{1000}\times900 = 14.4$
The selling price of 900 gm salt = INR 18
Profit = 18 – 14.4 = 3.6
So, the Profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}\times 100$
= $\frac{3.6}{14.4}\times 100=25$
Hence, the correct answer is $25 \%$.
