Correct Answer: INR 48
Solution : Cost price of a notebook = INR 120 Profit percentage = 40% Selling price = $\frac{100 + \text{Profit percentage}}{100}\times$ Cost price = $\frac{100+40}{100}\times120$ = $\frac{140}{100}\times120$ = INR 168 Nominal profit made on the sale of each notebook = Selling Price – Cost Price So, the nominal profit = 168 – 120 = INR 48 Hence, the correct answer is INR 48.
