Correct Answer: 15
Solution : Given, Selling price after 25% loss = Rs. 1965 Let cost price be $\text{CP}$. $1965 = \frac{\text{CP}(100-25)}{100}$ ⇒ $1965= \frac{3}{4}(\text{CP})$ ⇒ $\text{CP}= 2620$ Now, when the selling price is Rs. 3013, $\therefore$ Profit %= $\frac{3013-2620}{2620}\times 100=15\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 15.
