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.
