Correct Answer: 12.5% profit
Solution : Let the cost price of 1 item be Rs. 100. So, the marked price of 85 items = Rs. 153 × 100 = Rs. 15300 ⇒ The marked price of one item = Rs. $\frac{15300}{85}$ = Rs. 180 Also, the selling price of 104 items = marked price of 65 items = Rs. 180 × 65 ⇒ The selling price of 1 item = Rs. $\frac{180 × 65}{104}$ = Rs. 112.5 Profit % = $\frac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100$ Where $SP$ is the selling price and $CP$ is the cost price. So, profit % = $\frac{112.5 - 100}{100}\times 100$ = 12.5% Hence, the correct answer is 12.5% profit.
