Correct Answer: 26.67%


Solution : Profit% = $\frac{\text{Selling Price-Cost Price}}{\text{Cost Price}}\times 100$
Let the cost price of 1 orange is Re. 1.
According to the question
Selling price of 15 oranges = Cost Price of 19 Oranges = Rs. 19
and the cost price of 15 oranges = Rs. 15
Now,
Profit percentage = $\frac{​19 - 15}{15}$×100  = $\frac{4}{15}$×100 =  26.67%
Hence, the correct answer is 26.67%.
