Correct Answer:
Solution : Given that the cost price (CP) and selling price (SP) of an article are in the ratio 25 : 26, Let, $ \text{CP} = 25x $ $ \text{SP} = 26x $ $ \text{Profit percentage} = \frac{\text{Selling price} - \text{Cost price}}{\text{Cost price}} \times 100 $ Substituting these values into the formula, $ \text{Profit Percentage} = \frac{26x - 25x}{25x} \times 100 = 4\% $ Hence, the correct answer is 4%.
