Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : The profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost Price}}$ × 100% The cost Price (CP) is INR 5000 and the Selling Price (SP) is INR 6000 Profit = SP − CP = 6000 − 5000 = 1000 ⇒ Profit percentage = $\frac{1000}{5000}$×100 = 0.2 × 100 = 20% Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
