Correct Answer: $11\frac{1}{9}$%
Solution :
Selling price = 200 - 200×$\frac{20}{100}$ = Rs. 160
Cost price = Selling price – Profit = 160 – 16 = Rs. 144
Gain % = $\frac{Gain}{\text{Cost price}}×100 = \frac{16}{144}×100=\frac{100}{9}$ = $11\frac{1}{9}$%
Hence, the correct answer is $11\frac{1}{9}$%.
