Solution : Given: Shyam purchased a packet of 16 pens and got 4 pens free with it. He Marked the Price 20% more than the CP. Here cost price is denoted by CP, selling price is denoted by SP. Let the CP of 1 pen = Rs.100 Total CP = (100 × 16) = Rs.1600 So, the CP of 20 pens is Rs.1600 Now, the MP of 1 pen = $(100+100×\frac{20}{100})$ = Rs. 120 Also, the SP of 1 pen = Rs. 120 So, the SP of 20 pens = (120 × 20) = Rs. 2400 We know, Profit = $\frac{SP–CP}{CP}×100$% So, profit = $(\frac{2400–1600}{1600})×100$% = 50% Hence, the correct answer is $50$%.
