Question : The cost price of a chair is 25% less than the cost price of a table. If a man sells 5 chairs at the cost price of 7 tables, what is his profit percentage?
Option 1: 33.33
Option 2: 45
Option 3: 86.66
Option 4: 96
Correct Answer: 86.66
Solution : Let the cost price of the table be INR 100. Cost price of a chair = INR 75 Cost price of 5 chair = 5 × 75 = INR 375 Selling price of 5 chair = cost price of 7 tables = 7 × 100 = INR 700 Profit = 700 – 375 = INR 325 Profit percentage = $\frac{325}{375}$×100 = 86.66% Hence, the correct answer is 86.66.
