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.
