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%.
