Correct Answer: $33\frac{1}{3}\%$
Solution : Given: The selling price of 6 bananas is equal to the cost price of 8 bananas. Let the CP (cost price) of each banana be Re.1. ⇒ CP of 8 bananas = Rs. 8 ⇒ CP of 6 bananas = Rs. 6 SP (selling price) of 6 bananas = CP of 8 bananas = Rs. 8 $\therefore$ Profit percentage $=\frac{8-6}{6}×100=\frac{100}{3}=33\tfrac{1}{3}\%$ Hence, the correct answer is $33\tfrac{1}{3}\%$.
